Yes, 29 to 49 USD is what I would dare to consider the right price level.
However, REBOL Technologies should distinguish several cases of pricing:
- single users, wanting to use REBOL/Command non commercially,
- commercial single purpose usage - e.g. - some set of scripts running on one
server machine
- commercial bundle purpose usage - two stages - app is sold individually to
different customers, or is app developed internally inside the company,
installed on X systems
I would like to hear comments on above categories, if it's going to be
distinguished or not, etc. ....

I would like to point out in the probably biggest messaging platform - Lotus
Notes .... maybe REBOL could bring something valuable to Notes developers, and
licencing it to companies like IBM/Lotus, Novell, etc. would be great win!
