Modrinth, CurseForge, Hangar and wordpress.org
These platforms distribute free projects. There is no purchase to integrate with, and some of them restrict license checks. The usual setup is a free version there and the paid version on a store that SunLicense connects to.
| Platform | Paid downloads? | License-gated code? | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modrinth | No (creators earn from ads) | Not banned, but network calls must be disclosed | Publish the free version; sell Premium on BuiltByBit, Voxel Shop or Gumroad |
| CurseForge | No (rewards programme) | Some games forbid monetised mods outright | Check the game's rules; sell elsewhere |
| Hangar (PaperMC) | No | Banned: "functionality may not be hidden behind a paywall or an author-granted license key", including linking to paid "full" versions; obfuscation is banned too | Keep the Hangar build fully free |
| wordpress.org | No | Banned (guideline 5, trialware) | Sell the Pro add-on through WooCommerce, Lemon Squeezy, Payhip or Envato, and check it with the PHP SDK |
When your free build calls SunLicense (for example to unlock Premium features with a key bought elsewhere), say so on the project page: the platforms require disclosure of remote connections.
