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.
