Well, once I paid the fees to license our logo from subcompany A, and the rent on all my servers to subcompany B; we didn't make any money.



Yes, this is an example of a company I wouldn't want to charge for my software, at least until you're into six figure revenues.


Not sure but I think maybe they were mixing up profit vs. revenue and pointing out how a company can ensure it has zero profit. But I guess you'd also have to be careful about which entity or sub-entities are covered by a license and the revenue limits.


Ah, I see, by "subcompany" they meant their own subsidiaries. Yes, that's why I said "revenue" in the original post, thank you for the clarification.
