"Ovi way" is because I think that a lot of N900 users doesn't know what "opensource" and "donate" means.

I think so because I know some popular applications that never received donations (or almost)
we absolutely value your time and effort you put into your home project which you want to capitalize on, but as you said that you are going to provide the code and also want to put on OVI for sale. I am kind of confused on how you can trust that your app is not going to get pirated? and keep in mind that almost 90% of N900 users are tech savvy and can easily compile an app with available source.
If you really want to capitalize on it I will just put it on OVI and hope for best.
(have you thought about the consequences that Nokia might hammer on you on OVI for changing their core keyboard with yours?)
Anyways, goodluck


Edit:
Not saying that it will be scraped from OVI but if there just happens to be a new official PR from Nokia and is not compatible with your package and then you are not around and working on it then your project is scrapped automatically.
