Yep. This is what counts. Not precedents like Microsoft or Oracle. If
I bought a web server software, I don't want Netscape telling me how
many servers I can host, how many users can connect to it, or how
many documents I can publish. Or charge me based on such criteria.
Price differentiation based on feature set is more acceptable as in a
lite version vs an enterprise version, but not for the capacity of
the work done by the software. List management software is similar
to a web, ftp, or smtp server than Oracle and Novell and other per
seat pricing mavens.
