Not true, people pay for things of doubtful value all the time! I just  
need a better sales team. =)

Seriously, if I had expectations of talking someone into fronting  
money, do you think I'd use words like "insufficiently documented" and  
"byzantine"? I was just trying to emphasize what I thought was an  
obvious point: I can't afford the time to open source my code right  
now, but if someone were to make it worth my while, that'd be a  
different story. I may as well have said "if I win the lottery". It  
*could* happen, but I'm not holding my breath (or buying lottery  
tickets).

Cheers
