I've seen occasional questions on the newsgroups about protecting
plugins with some sort of licensing mechanism, but I've never seed a
good response. I know there are several commercial products on the
market that have license management built in, but it seems they are all
proprietary solutions.
So, are there any resources available to guide the poor plugin developer
who has to protect his plugins with license management? I'm not really
looking for the license management portion, as that is addressed by
various products in the marketplace. What I'm looking for is in the area
of preventing plugins from loading without some specific prerequisite
having been satisfied.
Ideally, I would like to find a project proposal or API enhancement that
makes it easy for a plugin developer to hook in his license management
provider of choice and force his plugins to require the license be
resolved during loading.
Any pointers?
Eric
