Thanks again for spending time with on on this and your kind tone.

I have to figure out how to compete before i undertake a strong effort. 
It's a SWOT analysis. Strengths/Weakness/Opportunities/threats.

I am seriously considering hiring a lawyer to write a licence for me but 
the cost will hurt a lot.


As I was saying I am interesting in the Reciprocal Public License 1.0 
but under the urging of the FSF it had it's balls cut off in version 1.5 
and it now permits derivatives to be resold. I don't know if this 
licence is enforceable in court.

thanks again!
