This could be interesting if enough folks post. Here is my info.

I've published 2 apps, one paid (Whiteboard Capture Pro), one free (Picture Me). Picture Me code is open sourced as well (http://bit.ly/7rmKdT). Originally I did some marketing with Google Adsense but it's too hard to track its success so I stopped. I've had some free marketing thanks to mentions in blogs, etc. Recently Apple even made a super awesome video about one of the apps (http://bit.ly/cbtkg3).

Income wise, it's decent. Surprisingly stable at it's current level. Let's just say it's paid for a WWDC trip, three iPhones and 2 iPads and there is plenty left over, plenty.

Has anyone republished your free app as a paid app? If so, how do you feel about it?

No one has that I'm aware of. At least not just taking the code and submitting it as-is. I've had many people email me about the code because they were trying to use it for their app.

If somebody did just re-submit it as a paid app I'd be fine with that. It is open source after all. I do think that's unfair to end-users though who probably wouldn't know it's free and it would add to the clutter of the App Store.
