That's pretty much the situation already. Cells and cello already is

LLGPL last I looked, but it does vary over time. :)

I /could/ license it so anyone could do what they want with the software as long as users needed a subscription to use the software, but that would be interesting only if people got excited about the first version and then wanted to take it in different directions. I am not sure then how people get excited about the first version by arguing about web page point size. Of course they do not bringing me back to my theory about some people just needing to see their names in print and if they have nothing to offer they scan their conversation loop for something they can play over the public microphone just standing there I have to say something! Lessee, whadowehave...headscarves in French schools... Giants over Patriots... its not the heat its the humidity... ah, bingo: GPL! Hey kenny!....

The last time I did this (on CompuServe!) I got about five guinea pigs one of whom I ended up hiring for two contracts and then one full-time position at $100k. Many are called, few are chosen.
