How to get rich (quick) with JS
summary
A hypothetical JavaScript framework licensed €50,000 per app plus €5 per user with a 70/30 split promises one app 100,000 users → ~€500,000 but is deliberately absurd and never existed; the point is that open source tools like PhoneGap and Node and jQuery grow huge ecosystems because they are free, enabling consulting, build services (PhoneGap Build), plugins and cloud APIs as real revenue streams, whereas per‑app licensing would kill adoption.
