They key is not creating a barrier to entry. It would be ideal if I 
could license a "Mexuar-like" client in small lots of 5 or 10 at a price 
of around $10 per license. You might even give away a "free" developer 
pack of 2 licenses so folks can easily get started. This all enables the 
little gut to get in the game, and then maybe hit a homerun resulting in 
thousands of licenses.
