i think the middle path would be to target commercial enterprises as
your revenue source, while keeping individuals/developers in the
'free-zone'
Then again, you're fostering possible competition - who knows which of
those developers may start his own firm based on ur product..!!

there are already some companies/developers who allow free individual
use of their software, while restricting companies from doing so.
one interesting example is jason hunter - if you want to use any of
his java code personally - you can, but if a company wants to use it,
they'd have to buy a copy of his book for every developer on the
project team!
