Well I have waited long enough to post the results of my query.  These
are the number of commitments:

Appliances: 0
Clients: 4
Servers: 0

And the number of maybes:

Appliances: 0
Clients: 7
Servers: 2

The message is, there is *no* opportuity for this business.

I know there are companies that have licensed Plan 9.  Are there any
interested in selling commercial use licenses to holders of the source
license?

Thanks for the feedback.
