Seeking advice - Software |

Hi all,
Just thought of bouncing this off you. I have developed a methodology that makes a lot of difference in developing software applications or maintaining them. The primary theme is to have non-programmatic assembling of software applications possible from completely reusable independent software modules. These software modules are created by programmers.
For over a decade, a lot of solutions towards developing and utilizing reusable software modules have been tried out in the mainstream software design, each improvising on the previous. What I have could be seen as the next step, where the task of creating a software application serving a domain is made very easy and taken out of programmers' hands. The technology will enable business analysts/ functional analysts or even end users create/ customize their application.
Not only is the solution easy to use, it is also a high performance one.
This methodology is based upon some standards and supported by a couple of tools that I have developed. The major question is front of me is which way to go next, and hence seeking your advice. The choices seem to be:
(a) Open source/ Give away the tools free and charge for services
(b) Selling the product and support to software vendors
I have spent years in the research, most of it in evolving the paradigm. The final product however is deceptively simple. Although a lot of people including software giants have been working in areas very close given the appeal of this idea, no one has hit upon this. My fear is that once the idea is out it can be duplicated, possibly in different flavours. What could be the ways to beat that?
I invite your suggestions on this. I am open to partnerships too, if there is a natural fit.
