I hadn't seen or payed attention to their business model or pricing scheme when I was
playing around with the technology (I AM GUILTY OF NOT READING A LICENSE AGREEMENT *SIGH*)
but yes, I see IF they could get it to work it would be a like a money tree. However
I don't see them as even being at the stage where they would be able to command that
sort of VC or Angel investment. Maybe down the road after the technology had been solidified
a bit but it still looks like a infant language to me.
