I saw this in one of your other posts and it seems super interesting to me.
1. Improve the web site slightly (add a contact method and pricing info) and make it clear that it's a company offering an enterprise software tool. Programmers will be viewing the site, so it doesn't need much more than is there already.
2. Charge a flat $7,500/year for a commercial usage license and increase it as the functionality increases. Offer email support and updates. Many programmers can buy a $7,500/year piece of software without their management even asking a follow up question.
3. Write some blog posts showing how to use it and why it's good. Some benchmarks (LOC, performance, etc) vs alternatives would be a good source of posts. Real world examples that people can copy/paste to start with is probably the most useful.
4. Submit the blog posts to HN and some subreddits.
5. Profit (maybe)
