Then they should stop using AlliedModders technology. AMX Mod X was specifically made and licensed by people who DO want their work to be freely shared, and by using their tech, you agree to their license, which indicates that you are required to do exactly what they do.

Ideally, you should recieve the SMA, open it up in Notepad and look for anything fishy, and compile it into an AMXX file yourself.

Since you look understanding I'd like to share how I work things out:

I give a person the AMXX or install it myself, he looks at the plugin, he pays me X money and then I send him the SMA. That's acceptable that I only hand out AMXX first, to avoid being scammed right?

I don't understand why it's so hard for you guys to understand.
You have to provide the sma at the same time with the amxx file, else you are breaking the license.
The solution is simple: stop using amxx or always provide the source.
You can sell plugins, that's fine, as long as the source file is provided.

No, have them test it on your server.
