William, >>How can you tell who has the greatest ability to pay?<< I can't. I think if you'll look at the detailed descriptions of KineModelz in the ANVENA/New Anim. Vendor Library, you'll see my plan is to offer 3 different permits, and users may choose from among them to determine *themselves* which is appropriate to their needs. >>…which may not be legally enforceable<< There are plenty of precedents for limiting the commercial use on software products. My plan will not deviate from this basic tenet. >>(what is 'limited commercial' after all)<< For my products, there will be very simple and clear limits on their use. They are roughly outlined in the ANVENA files I referred you to above. As for your other comments, I've already done my best in this thread to explain why I feel different prices for different licenses is valid. I did not invent the terms `Consumer, Prosumer, etc.' And there are plenty of examples in marketing where these distinctions work very well. But I do honestly appreciate your feedback. It's certainly food for thought. -Tim
