Topic: License sharing instead of group buying?

Post title: Makes sense, but not profits
Andreas, lending/leasing makes sense for translators (users), yet as far as vendors are still not interested, it's not about big incomes and of priority, not to mention free [and on-line] options. Besides representatives' fuss, it does pose risks for a force-majeure (act of God/Vendor/User/Client/Rivals), contingencies, and corollary limitations for a license suspending/revoking.
How about subscription-based CATs?
Once a group of my colleagues had a "lottery"--everybody invested some $25 and a random winner got license costs/participants×$25, and they repeated this several times... Nope, I prefer WF, however I can do with Studio, MemoQ, DejaVu, or even Across)
