I personally would prefer REBOL charging for services/commercial use rather than the technology. I wouldn't want to see rebol's (programming language) future determined my marketers (who might limit or influence module design, features, etc...) rather than the programmers and engineers who use the language...
 
At the same time, I would like to see the company profit so more development/resources can go into REBOL. Here are my suggestions:
 
- Make rebol core/command/view/apache etc... free for non-commerical use (no-support)
- charge licensing fee for commercial or for-profit use. Add support services for this fee.
- charge service based fees for developing custom dialacts for companies that need it.
 
This way, there is no marketing reason to stifle/limit/bloat... the technology...
 
Just  a thought....
