Its not about price but about value.

Nice! I like that one. And I think you're right.
If Magnolia is of no value o an SMB, there is no point in trying to
lower a price. We would instead have to increase value.
Finally, for non-profit organization the pricing of the Enterprise
Edition is simply out of the question.
You mean the red cross (as an example) can't afford 10k a year? I
wonder how they pay for their airline transports? Or their car
fleet? Their employees?
The Red Cross is for non-profit organizations what Novartis is for
businesses. Again: Most of us are not lucky enough to be developing
for those kind of organizations.

Exactly. The real world consists of millions of SMBs with a very
limited budget which carefully have to look at what they are spending
their money on. Again:
- I think the price tag for Magnolia Enterprise is fine
- I think it's great that there's a free version with limited features
- I think Magnolia is the best CMS when it comes to ease of use
- But believing that you can sell a Magnolia Enterprise license to
the standard SMB (which usually has a _total_ marketing budget lower
that 10k) is very brave.
Welcome to the real world, Boris.
