[Maxima] Ideas welcome

re: selling maxima program packages...

There are technical barriers to doing so in any "secure" way.
You could translate/compile  it so that the source code was not readable.
That would not prevent someone from sending a copy to someone else.

It is unlikely that someone would pay for what amounts to a rarely-used 
utility program like pw.mac.

If you put together a package that could (for example) do some important 
engineering computation needed on a daily basis to actually earn money using
Maxima, there is nothing preventing you from selling it.  And I think 
that is just fine.
