Shane-- 

No--it's just that I think selling scripts is hopeless. People just won't buy them. People will, however, buy scripting development services and training. If you want to sell/protect your code, write a plug-in. I don't think that broad horizontal distribution is what scripting is about, anyway (I know that it's what I do, but that's because I need a "marketing" vehicle to help people understand how useful scripting can be). 

I also think that InDesign should ship with its source code, but that's entirely another (and much less practical) matter.<g> 

Thanks, 

Ole
