 I've seen occasional questions on the newsgroups about protecting
 plugins with some sort of licensing mechanism, but I've never seed a
 good response. I know there are several commercial products on the
 market that have license management built in, but it seems they are all
 proprietary solutions.
 So, are there any resources available to guide the poor plugin developer
 who has to protect his plugins with license management? I'm not really
 looking for the license management portion, as that is addressed by
 various products in the marketplace. What I'm looking for is in the area
 of preventing plugins from loading without some specific prerequisite
 having been satisfied.
 
 Ideally, I would like to find a project proposal or API enhancement that
 makes it easy for a plugin developer to hook in his license management
 provider of choice and force his plugins to require the license be
 resolved during loading.
 
 Any pointers?
 
 Eric
