Well, customers need support. Having a lot of small customers is harder and more expensive than having 1 big customer. They should sell to e.g. a large automotive or industrial automation company, and then not worry about the small customers till later.

The per-seat pricing being within budgets is exactly why we're considering it as soon as the certification stuff is available. Yes, there is nominally an enterprise sales pathway, but ferrocene wouldn't succeed there. That has a lot of difficult prerequisites and specific timelines that involve convincing manager's manager's (managers) that X is worth the cost and isn't going to have weird licensing terms e.g. preventing us from compiling open source code (a real limitation I've seen). The quickest way through that pipeline is if we already have a bunch of internal usage on prior projects to point to, or well-known public usage.
