If the source code you were to sell was of a high quality, I reckon you
could make a few quid, given that "Engineering time" in England is generally
charged at 40 - 50 pounds per hour, charging $40 for some source that might
take 50 hours to write (probably a hell of a lot more hours) you could do
well. There a companies around that allready sell source code, but not
generally whole applications, more like alogrithms and protocol stacks etc.
It would be worth selling it on licence, so that if a company uses it to
make loads of money, you could get a cut. Its worth remembering that $100 is
nothing even to a small comapny.
