Yes, but I think issue that needs to be overcome is not that the coder has commercial interests, but that the coder does not have vb4. Meanwhile over 2.600 boards have installed vbexperience and use it as an integral aspect of their site. vbexperience will stop a lot of boards from upgrading to vb4.
It seems to me that the value of vbexperience to IB is far more greater than the value of one license.

I have read more comments by addon coders that will not upgrade their modifications to vb4, because they can't pay for it. I suggest to vb.org and IB that the solution to this is simple (at least for those coders that have a lot of installs):

Give something back to the coding community.
