I understand all that (having to pay a rather similar wage bill every month myself and often wondering whether I would not be better off at the receiving end of the wage cheques). I can't give you any advice regarding commercial software deployment, since I do not have any idea about it. When I still wrote software for money, I was always either employed or contracted - cash for code, simplest of terms, and what the customer did with the code was his business alone. Never did marketing. All I can tell you is that FOSS deployment does not work that way. There are revenue streams from FOSS - whether they could work for Argus or not I cannot know. They sure work very well for some FOSS products (MySQL, QT) at least. But I can tell you that they *will not* work for Argus unless it is proper FOSS - lingo, infrastructure and all.
