I had a standard quote from a company. It is a standard service they
offer, basically 10,000 pounds a year to use a software module that
returns the distance. I think that is completely absurd. If that is
saleable, I will offer that service myself after writing my own
software and getting the Royal Mail license.
Regarding the Javascript and ToS. The ToS are basically legal issues,
but the postcode work I am doing will not have any user interface. The
user will just ask for the best prices by clicking a button and the
rest follows. The integration of Javascript into .NET is not that hard
and would not account for the fee of 10,000 pounds which is the price
for standard software sold multiple times. Probably the total
development cost is that including the Royal Mail fee of 4,000 pounds.
So that means for Sale #2 you hit 100% profit. Sounds a good business
to me.
