Of course. When I submit or commit patches, I am doing it mostly for 
hobby, educational, and scientific users, and maybe website makers (who 
make site I can visit). If commercial users piggyback on top, ok. I do 
not know how many developers, if any, are after such market penetration.

Shedskin compiles a slowly growing subset of Python to native code. But 
I do not know that it has gotten any commercial support. Maybe Mark 
should sell it instead of giving it away for commercial use (if he does 
now).
