I would strongly disapprove of the idea to introduce the monetization of VASL.Have you considered adding digital versions of your counters for purchase so that folks could use them in VASL?
Rather than having VASL monetized, I'd pass on any extra counters or extensions any time.
Monetizing VASL opens a can of worms and might destroy it. If VASL countersets are only available for sale, this will splinter the VASL community.
"Ah, we can't play this, you have bought the counter-extension for this scenario, but I have not..."
"Hey, those dudes charge money for extensions. But they don't give us VASSAL/VASL developers a share, without whom the extension would be of no use at all."
I would not like to see any of that or similar things with regard to VASL.
If people decide to make available alternate countersets for VASL as an extension, yes sure.
If this is linked to monetization, hell no.
