I'm an amateur programmer at best, and the height of my programming "career" was when my friend told me their IT was using my tool internally. It has a few hundred stars on GitHub now, so not too bad. Sad thing is that I have other projects that I actually am passionate about, but they don't get much love.

This implies that my code lives outside of modern tech. I write pure assembly

My project has been used by random companies at some point, never again, I can't recommend it to anyone. At first it was nice to have my stuff getting real world use but the never ending issues asking for new features and pressure to keep everything up to date was exhausting. It was a relief to archive it, never again.

On the other hand, once it gets used and depended upon by several companies, you could have them in your hands. Screw them over, break their shit. Or… start charging? Maybe go for a license / ??? that allows for free use but requests payment for paid use

I can say that it's not a very complex project, and I think that simplicity is probably why people like it.

Eh, that's a lot of work. It's no wonder why there's such a large "Malware as a Service" industry nowadays

I tried to get paid consulting from it but never got a penny. But you're right, if I were more aggressive it could have worked as supplemental income.

Actually, that would make it non-free (a.k.a source-available) software by FSF's definition. You can do something like Qt (copyleft license for free, permissive license for a fee), but this doesn't really work for a lot of software.
