Opensource or what !

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh

Yesterday, we have delivered our 3DEER Project to the faculty..
Today, we began to think about the future of 3DEER... will it be one of those projects kept on the shelf of FCIS Library without anyone noticing it... of course this is not what we want.

We thought to open-source it, we thought to sell it, the first choice was most preferred by me cause this let's us see whether the community will accept it and encourage it or not...

The purpose of this post is to ask whoever reads this blog about his/her opinion..

Thanks in advance

"We thought to open-source it, we thought to sell it"
What about college copyrights??

As far as I know, if you have a patent about something (which is not the case for the college but let's just assume) anybody who changes 30% of your original code (or idea) can take a patent for his "change"..
I can assure you, we really have a lot to change
