As you realize, selling it to the general public is going to be hard since they would need to download and deploy the developer's edition of WebDNA, but you might find someone that is willing to let you "support" them by managing the install and fixing it if/when WebDNA crashes. Offering it amongst the WebDNA developer's crowd (all 5 of us) might pick up a sale. :) You could offer it as an online service (which is probably what you're thinking ) for a monthly fee, you might get some buyers that way. Porting it to PHP might gain you some fame (no fortune though) if you open sourced it to that community. :) Just my rambling comments, feel free to ignore.....
