Small licensing cost for NeXTStep doesn't do the job. If NeXTStep were to catch
on, Jobs could then simply pull the carpet from under his competitors' feet. It
would have to be a fairly complicated contingent contract to interest
competitors. Hard to write, and easy to sue about lateron.

I wonder if Jobs occasionally reads this bboard and finds the 
speculation on optimal GUI distribution policy amusing...
