The problem with org-level licensing is that it prevents more discriminatory licensing models from being viable. The kinds of software being protected by FLEXlm have customer counts in the tens to hundreds, with every licensee almost certainly requiring additional development work or other forms of support or documentation be done and folded back into the upstream project at some point. Complicated licensing models, at least here, more or less exist to estimate how much a customer costs to support. Mass-market proprietary software generally has far simpler licensing, purely because their customer lists are far larger relative to their staff. The actual development costs spread out more.
