I've made a framework in C# that allow to develop a complete application with only few line of code. I think that it will be usefull for some other, and that i need a lot of time for refine it.

I've not experience with opensource project and i need to know what is the best way to make some profit开发者_运维百科 from it.

thanks in advance

UPDATE

I think that i'll release only a piece of the fw with opensource license and the rest with a commercial license. This because I do not have fully understood the opensource mechanism, and i don't wont to give year of work for free.

this means that if it work fine, all fw will be opensource a day.

thanks to everyone

The best way to profit from a one-person open source project is to use it as a portfolio item to get a good job. Making money from it any other way would probably take more effort than it's worth. Your type of project, in particular, would be very difficult to differentiate from the abundance of App-Inventor-type frameworks.

Generally speaking, the most profitable approach for Open Source companies to make money is to sell support licensing.

Given as your product is a framework, you might want to re-evaluate if you want to sell it, or if you want to release it as Open Source, as in your case I'm guessing your customers wouldn't generally be interested in support contracts.
