Charles,

So after all this explanation and examples.

Assume you develop not software for one copy only,
But something that will be distributes in 1000-100,000 copies.

I.e. Assume you need Embedded Server.
Then how now sounds to you our prices?

I can repeat that first example:

> Assume you have sale 10,000 copies of your application with 5connection.
> Assume you have sale it at price $50-$500.
> So you get $500,000 - $5,000,000
>

> Now let 5,000 your customers want to have 15 connections.
> So you need sale them 5,000 * (15 - 5) = 50,000 connections.
> Such bulk you can buy from us for $1 per connection.
> 
> 
> So you need pay us $50,000, and you now can resale this connections at price
> that is acceptable on market. This is  $1-$70.
> Therefore you can get $50,000 - $3,500,000.
