I sent such an email to him long ago. His reply was that he couldn't estimate the price before the project was actually completed or nearing completion. Which means, one could spend years making a commercial game with WME, and if Mnemonic's decision on appropriate royaltees does not agree with a development team, the whole thing would have been a waste. The vague nature of such a license is what's uncomfortable to me. As for the commercial games that are in development (such as Project Joe), the teams' own description is that they have close ties with WME author, which I'm sure adds to their comfort level.
