Earlier quoted context omitted.

You mean a private limited company, not a public one (which requires £50,000 capital). The accounts are not difficult if your company doesn't do much, and you can incorporate for under £100.

You are correct - that was a typo. I edited above to correct it. If I ever get my side project moving toward completion, I intend to look into this side of things in the new year.

Still needs a correction - plc stands for public limited company and you still have that in there.

I would do it, it'll take you like 5 extra minutes to copy paste something, and you'll avoid a lot of troubles. I would still release it under a LLC you own, just to protect yourself. But if not, at least spend a few bucks to hide your whois info.

How do you do that?

WordPress released theirs under creative commons and encourages others to use it. I'd recommend borrowing theirs.

Yep. However, it is worth thinking about these moments that come ever so often when there's a new and popular platform and a fart app can make you rich. As soon as people find that out, it is no longer true as there will be thousands if not millions of fart apps. But how to recognize the moment when fart apps can make you rich, or more aptly the moment just before that?

Errr... my comment above was meant for an entirely different thread!?!

The time when I could edit it has passed, mod me to invisibility.
