One other point:  the fact that I'm looking to provide a closed source
solution should not be interpreted in any way that I'm anti-FOSS.
Anybody who knows me or does a quick Google can see all the FOSS
projects I've contributed to over the years.  In this case though, the
economics simply don't allow for me to give away months of engineering
and take on the associated support burden at no cost.
