This would seem an attractive option for most developers, who just don't have the time to research and develop their own anti-crack mechanism. And your terms seem more than fair.

You might want to mention what kind of obfuscation steps you take, and if you've made it easy to hide stuff in memory. (i.e. hopefully it's easy to customize so that crackers won't easily come up with some automated solution.)
Well you have to make sure that the initial cracker does not know that you use copy protection for long enough for him to publish it it. I very much like to make my apps a slient Lite version and then after the content is expired just pop up a dialog "You have played through all content in this Lite version. Purchase the full version now to continue your fun."

The problem with apps like Full Screen Browser is that they go and annouce outright that a crack was detected. STUPID. Silent Lite Versions are a great advertising vehicle!
