Hi Brad,

I have mostly the same problem that you have, with the same type of software.

Yes, there are too many open source CMS available out there, but I wanted something diferent, so wrote my own CMS using MySQL and HTML::Mason.

But, for me, the licensing isn't a problem at all, since I decided some time ago that all software that I would write by myself would be licensed as GPL or similar, and made available at http://www.code.online.pt. The only software I wouldn't license as GPL would be the software that I write on request (and that is written for the client, the client choose what he want to do with it).

The question remains, how do we profit from the software we write? Well, as I did write most (all) of my software to solve problems I had, including a simpler way to create sites to my clients, and to clients of my clients, I profit wroking less for the same result and, usually, the same profit.

Before I used in average four days to complete a dynamic site, that with BWPMS (not yet stable, and not yet available) I complete in a single day.
