Depends...

I'm working on a project right now that I'll see about making money out of, but all of the editors for it and various external components I've been working on for a while will be / are free.

Speaking of free, I just learned that somebody is actually using my web plugin system with DarkBasic!
Yay! I had no idea it actually worked :P

If you're worried about your software being exploited, I suggest you look around at various free software licenses like the GNU Public License or the Mozilla Public License.
Also, it doesn't hurt to keep the source close to your chest; a good plan is to require people directly contact you if they want it.
