Actually I'm _offering_ to code something for free (DTL/NSL integration with BitCoin or some other distributed currency system that someone might suggest) so that other people can charge each other. I'm then hoping that someone else would do the same to make the viewer work better with what I'd code, although I'm hoping it would be useful even if they didn't. I suppose there's an irony in there somewhere, but this is very common in free software. There's loads of free software designed to help people charge each other: OS Commerce, Ubercart for Drupal, BitCoin/Ubercart integration, BitCoin itself, the original DTL money server, Fumi Iseki's version of the original DTL money server, not to mention the whole free software stack that supports most of the world's e-commerce systems. The alternative would be that free software would have to give up and throw in the towel to proprietary systems for anything to do with commerce - which is also what we'd do if we followed your suggestion on the other thread and stayed clear of the whole area for fear of unspecified legal threats.
