That's the one thing that holds all freeware development back from the desktop marketplace, and it hurts both Linux and BSD app developers. You'd be a hit. See my http://www.daemonnews.org/corporate.html, also Eric Fair (fair@clock.org) wrote an even better piece a year ago which I don't have the URL for right now (I'm on vacation, yay!)
