"BizSpark has rules many startups cannot follow"

Please explain. The rules seem pretty simple to me and certainly something every company can follow:

  - Privately held.
  - Less than 3 years old.
  - Earning less than $1 million per year.
  - Developing software.

After 3 years you can afford to purchase extra licenses (you get to keep the BizSpark ones). If not, your business sucks.
