EULA is terribly written, barely in English, convoluted, confusing 
and almost incomprehensible. As interpreted by the Company, the deal 
seems to be this: Pay Adobe $799 and get unlimited use of ELIXIR to 
produce apps, but only for your own enjoyment. If you want to even 
SHOW (never mind sell) your apps to any "third party" you have to buy 
a "commercial" license from ILOG (not Adobe). Price is the upfront 
fee plus a "deployment fee" of $5,000/module up to $20,000 for the 
whole thing.

Worse, the deployment fee is ANNUAL, so discount the stream to PV to 
get your actual cost, which will be six figures for an extra chart 
dimension and a few gauges. For that kind of money you can have real 
gauges in your new leased Ferrari.
