Need a US bank account to sell [1]. Not quite as restrictive as devpay's requirement for a US legal entity, but still a hassle. I think I'll stick with a free AMI and stripe/quaderno for payments/VAT for license keys to unlock premium features.

Sorry, what does AMI stand for?

Amazon Machine Instance [1]. Its the name Amazon uses for the virtual machine image running on AWS.
