I do understand that it is hard to come up with a pricing model. Maybe a leasing model? I wouldn't know how to licencse it either. It is just that business wise it will be harder and harder to license based on CPU number. In 1 or 2 years we might have 4 x quad core CPUs in the low end part of the leased dedicated server market starting at 40 EUR a month. Just look at the prices now:

I would imagine that not a lot of people would be willing to pay thousands upon thousands additionally just for the web server in this scenario ... Don't get me wrong, if lsws holds what it promises I think it might even be underpriced right now. But what good is it to leave out thousands upon thousands of business customers in the whole VPS/leased dedicated market?
Also, I have a hard time imagining what the implications of using a 1-2 CPU license are when running on a 4 CPU machine. What is the actual performance difference? Can you elaborate?
Thanks
