provide the open-source program in the usual way (maemo extras, etc.) and then, on request per e-mail plus payment you reply with an encrypted database that the user must place in a given directory.

There's one alternative which I would probably use myself if I'd create an application with cross-platform target;
I'd release the application as open source (of course! I cannot really even imagine ever writing in order not to release as open) but with a license so that the Maemo/Harmattan/SFOS versions would be available without charge, and the iOS/Android/WP versions would be with a commercial license.
This makes sense in multiple ways;
