It's not open for me to set it up and sell as a service either.
I'm trying to think of a good analogy. Does anyone have a good one?
How about, the software is analogous to a floor plan. I come up with a great floor plan, and allow anyone to use it for their buildings. But I add a restriction that no one is allowed to sell buildings using this floor plan except me.
And to expand on that: if I get really good at building that floor plan, I can't sell my construction services to people who like that floor plan but suck at construction. And further, if I make a substantial improvement on that floorplan to address flaws with it or tailor it to different folks' needs, I can't sell that better floorplan or my services around building said better floorplan.
So now, if I want to make money with my skills and labor, I'm at the mercy of your architectural firm, which means I'm fundamentally at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiating fair compensation for my labor.
