I would go freemium. Make the base app open-source and free (as in freedom, though you could also make it free as in beer, too).

You could do something wonky with your license where it's free or nearly so for noncommercial use and then scale up the licensing costs by some metric for commercial use.

Or you could go the normal freemium model and determine via beta customers what businesses will actually pay for and then charge to do that well. I'd pick this option.

Realistically though, if it's the type of product that only enterprise will ever be interested in, then the discussion is mostly moot.

Our focus is in enterprise solutions for now... but it could interest individuals building web applications.

We also thought that a good option would be to make it all open source, and build our own applications with that. These applications would be our source of income, instead of the core framework and components.
