Is it OK a free EA but it need pay or pay monthly for using EA's features?

[Yuta Hidaka]

Hello, I'm thinking about new EA.

The EA is free, but if customer wants to use it, customer needs license key which is subscription payment.

They need buy subscription plan external website and get  license key then they can use the EA.

Is it OK to that kind of business model in MQL community?

Or it is violate MQL community term of service?

There is one business model only here: MQL5 Market.
And any other business models should be developed outside this MQL5 community without any advertisement/promotion here.
