I fully agree. From what we know today, unless you intend on building your own copy-protections (which requires extra effort, *will* cause problems for some and eventually *will* get hacked), the only realistic and clean way of getting money from Maemo users is where the value is not in the executable itself, but either a service or a subscription. With always-online functionality this will be easier to do, but standalone applications could still find it hard to jump that hurdle.
