Well said! I know it's daunting, what with the potential for hackers to exploit it, but that's the beauty of open source: other developers who specialize in security can plug up the loopholes for you.
Not only that but, if you have to limit the number of people, you also can have your pick of all the great devs who use this forum! I'm sure one of us would be willing to contribute for free for a period of time, only wanting credit for their portfolio. If you're worried about internal leakages and clones, GitHub has your code copyrighted. If you're still worried, you can reveal only certain folders/portions of the code.
P.S. As a cheap workaround for license keys for non-Chrome browsers, I'd recommend that users be able to keep their license key locally on their computers.
I would recommend a way to grab the license key locally on the computer, at least until pulling it from GDrive or Dropbox while using Brave is available.

Sorry, I just tried using Vivaldi and signing in to Chrome, but it doesn't work on Vivaldi either. In fact, it looks like this isn't working for others on Vivaldi too: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/13288/i-can-t-sign-in-my-google-account/20
Could you explain how you were able to sign in with your Google account on Vivaldi?
