Connector certification process

Hi everyone,

I'm a D365 F&O developer, and the company I am working with is starting to explore the power platform for the different D365 solutions.

We have a few solutions that require third-party integration, and some solutions that connect directly to our API.

Basically, we have two types of connectors:

Connector type 1: Connects to our API that connects to a third-party application

Connector type 2: Connects to our API directly and doesn't require any third-party application

I am reading the certification process and there are two types of certification. One for independent publishers, and another one for verified publishers.

My questions are:

The connector type 1 should be an independent publisher, and the connector type 2 should be a verified publisher?
My company would like to sell some connectors eventually, and from what I see the independent publisher is open source, does it mean it cannot be sold?
