Another place you can effectively use it is as a tech demo platform
to attract investors/publishers.  GG effectively doesn't care what
you do with whatever you make as long as you a) have a license for
each developer, and b) don't charge for it.  When you start
charging, then you start hitting the meat of the contract.
