So you would use it on OpenBSD?
And if you say Linux, what distribution of Linix?

We typically are looking for file system, cpu, and memory utilization, and
running processes.  Linux has the widest useage, while my personal
preference is for OpenBSD.

Licensing is always the sticky part.  A site license would seem to be the
best way to minimize your revenue.  :-)  If you price it too high the
smaller to mid-size shops won't use it. Price it too low and everyone will
use it and you won't make enough to cover the cost of supporting it.

I'd think a per system method would be best.  This could be sold
individually or in bundles of 5,10,25,50, etc.  Pricing I would think would
need to be between 10 and 25USD.
