I've considered open sourcing it, but to tell the truth, I wouldn't
mind making *something* back from my hard work on it. When I wrote
it, I had no kids and lots of time, now I have two of them and no time
at all, and could always use some extra cash.

Selling it to someone who gets it *is* part of my condition for the
sale. I don't want to have it turned into an ugly wasteland of
advertisements. I don't think that even makes sense economically -
programmers are mostly ad-blind, so the best strategy would be to have
the site be an advertisement for one company that sells something
directly related to programmers.
