Let's see..
There is a script in the archive to help remove old kernels. If I had
several old kernels installed, I could easily install the byobu package
and run the purge-old-kernels command.
Now you tell us that you have written a new script to serve the same
purpose but with some improvements. However, you won't show anybody the
script unless you get paid enough money in advance. Did I get it right?
If I did, it's a very odd 'offer' to an open source community.
The cold truth is that you can't make money from the kind of help script
you have written. People in this community contribute their work all the
time for free. We contribute our time and skill, and benefit from
contributions from others.
A few people tried to explain this to you on the ubuntu-doc mailing
list; this was my concise reply:

I'm sorry if someone previously tricked you to believe something else.
My advice now: Face it and move on.
