I've reviewed this new description and it looks to be directed at 
organizations that count developer seats too restrictively, leaving the 
revolution folks with the problem of supporting large numbers of pseudo 
developers. If this reading is correct then the distinction between 
commercial (or shareware) developers who provide users with finished 
products and companies that turn each user into a potential revolution 
developer is not especially problematic. In fact it is fair for these 
companies to purchase additional developer seats to cover the floating 
usage. If, on the other hand, this is an attempt to generate a new type 
of income based on the use of software written using revolution, we have 
a serious problem that must be addressed immediately.
