I think it is simply not possible.

For an extreme example, what if Frans Morsch would release
a new free engine. Would that make the engine an amateur?
Of course not...he has already benefitted from being a pro.

If the author sells his engine he and the buyers agree it/he
is good enough for being sold/selling it. That makes him/it
a pro and there is no way to revert that.
