Wheel, that's more or less exactly what I did when building my niche directories. And like you, I'm reluctant to release my script as open source, for similar reasons. It may be fine for me, but it's not nearly as feature-rich or easily configurable as other directory scripts, and it would be a full-time job to offer support for it.

What's more, when you release a script and it gets taken up by a lot of users, you lose the benefit of "no footprints".
