Homebrew PCBs

A good solution is to go in and reverse engineer the libraries for the 
different existing programs.
Then write a program that converts between library types.
That does two things:
  1) Lets you convert all the public domain libraries you can find and 
ship them with your programs
  2) Lets you sell an add-on to companies that have proprietary 
libraries they use or sell.
  By the way, make your converter two way.  That way it is a real stand 
alone product that does not
require you to grow market share of a mature market with lots of 
preexisting, big name competitors
to make money.  You have two possible revenue streams that are not hard 
tied to each other.
