Ah, I see. So, with a LOW-QUANTITY-DISTRIBUTION restriction,
you are hoping that word gets out about this
great program of yours, without this great program of
yours actually getting out on the internet.
thereby forcing people to come to you to purchase it.

You know, I posted a separate message a little while
ago about CC-FreeAdvertising. I didn't think anyone
would be quite so BOLD as to ask for it, but that's
effectively what you want.

You want to grant people the right to advertise your
program JUST ENOUGH to get the word out,
but RESTRICT it enough that they have to come to you
for an actual copy and then pay you to boot.
