However, there will be updates to my plugin over time... is there some sort of opensource application out there that anyone knows of, that I can manipulate (without having to re-invent the wheel), and package with my plugin so that people can just open the application and sync to get the latest version? Just a tiny application is all that's required.
Second:
Is there a way I can package my plugin, so that no one else can copy it? I can always minify it... but is that my only option?
Thanks.
