I don't know how much continuing income registration provides, but another option might be a community-funded source code buyout: a 1-time payment to open-source the codebase. 

The extra eyes & assurances from an open-source, wider-contributor approach might even enable additional higher-value uses (maybe even with subscription revenue) - such as merging quiesced or older tabs into a bookmarking or full-text indexing tool
