CPAN release of GT lib (or modules)
Answering a paragraph from this post in:

It would also be nice to see some of your core modules released on CPAN. I think GT::Template is just awesome but I can't use it as often as I would like :) And I just can't find anything close to GT::SQL.
We don't have any plan to do this at the current time. One of the problems is that doing so would put us under a certain amount of pressure to support our modules to people other than our clients.

Well, I believe, that releasing some GT modules to the CPAN doesn't force GT to give free support for CPAN users. Why would give support for free? We all know, time is money.

GT could give paid support for the GT modules released on CPAN. Asking a $40-$50/hour support fee would also mean extra income for GT company... While existing clients would be still supported for free, according to the license rules.
New CPAN users would also refresh the forum a bit, meaning activity, self-help potential, and clients....

Also not to mention the extra advertisement, what a CPAN release would mean for GT.

As summary, by CPAN release GT would win: potential extra support income, free advertisement, additional users, more product sellings...


I really don't understand your hesitation...
Just my 2 cents...
