Dis-honoring? DX has come to place for like 6 years, this is kind of first usable method for dx(g) to be used as pc monitor, but I got tiny encouragement but huge judgement, very disappoint now.

I hope you will be understanding.
For a long time, the Duokan project has offered an alternative OS for the Kindle, and in order to install it they repackaged our jailbreak, with an incompatible jailbreak certificate and NO accreditation.
This is a bit of a sore point for the people who put a lot of effort into developing the jailbreak and assorted hacks here, and weren't even acknowledged.
Anytime it looks like the same history might repeat itself, we (the Kindle Developer's Corner forum) make sure to bring the matter up for discussion, just in case.
And you see, something good did come of it -- you agreed that it would be a good idea to provide references to the original source.
And there was a complete lack of dis-honoring of any kind.
for linking back to us, and I for one do not see a problem with you offering an archive that isn't blocked in China.
Now everyone is happy.
As for your project -- opensourcing it is your decision of course. I assume you already know there are some who won't use anything they cannot inspect and hack on the code. Just like there are some who would pay that wouldn't have donated.
I must admit to preferring open-source stuff... but then, I don't have a DX anyway, my opinion is moot.
If I may offer a suggestion, though? $50 USD is a bit high if you ask me. You might have better luck at, say, $20.
