Lots of respect for working on a project for 5 years and releasing it to the world. That's really hard.

Question - do you have financial goals with this project, or do you see it as a community / hobby project? If so, what are your plans to do that?

I've mostly made this for use with my actual (paid) project work, so the idea was I 'might as well share'. Turned out to be much more work than I anticipated :) Definitely not a hobby project though, I'm hoping eventually a big enough community might pick this up.

Have you made sure you got authorisation to release the code, or that you were in a case where you didn't need such authorisation? Because in a lot of cases the code is not the developer's property, it belongs to the company who paid him to develop it.

Yup no worries, I work with my own standard contract and work like this is excluded. Valid point though, thanks.
