Do you think it would make sense to create a legal entity to market an
enterprise version?  The organization could hammer out a cohesive licensing
agreement with matz and the creators of the various packages, and thereby in
turn send a single message to corporations wanting to deploy it but with
jitters about potential legal ramifications of cobbling on add-ons under
various licenses.  Has anything like this been done in Japan?
