RE: CMS Pricing models

There's also:
  - authoring vs. publishing servers
    (i.e., EM3)
  - dev vs. production servers
  - slave vs. primary servers
  - internal vs. public servers
  - number of employees
  - by sw module
  - enterprise site licenses
  ...and probably numerous others

Unfortunately, this cat gets skinned in many, many ways.
