For me the closed‑source vs source‑available vs open-source choice is mainly about learning distribution models, not about AI‑authored code. I wrote and understand the code — I just wanted to test a model that allows distribution and PWYW, which open‑source doesn’t really support.

Just to understand you better — what counts as ‘AI‑authored’ for you?

It’s not really “closed‑source” — the code is source‑available on Gumroad. GitHub here is more of a landing page / documentation than a code host. The tool itself is tiny and console‑based, but the whole point of this project is the distribution experiment. I’m trying PWYW 0$+ to learn how small tools can be shared, not to monetize a Pomodoro timer.
