You have a paid version of a python script? Curious how that works.

`print('Paypal me 20 bucks please!')`

I agree it is weird, but I would guess he sends basic version of script for free to people, and then tells you what additional features the paid one has. However clearly one could just pay for the script and then post it online for everybody, not sure how he would prevent that.
Its the same as a normal program. You can always obfuscate or compile to bytecode or whatever.
yes, free in a way that it does not perform ALL things that paid does, for instance; apply ALL jobs return after search.

Speaking of decompiling, offcourse one can do it but not everyone is a techie. My script is used by non-techies and good people :)
