Options:

1: Due to the limitations on ROI we are looking at finding a solution to

2: We can set up a pool to get contributions from the wider community if
we decide that we simply must work with technology that requires a large
financial commitment.

3: A handful of people donate money and release the result as open
source going against the capitalist ideal.
