Barry,
I liked your idea of a paid license or subscription similar to Apple's developer license. For the $100/year subscription fee, Apple gives you access to their developer's API documentation and tools. I consider access to Philips Pronto developer documentation and tools a direct analogy.
I know a lot of people here will probably balk (some rather strongly I suspect) at having to pay for something that's been free up until now. But if the fee is reasonable (say $100/year or less), it seems perfectly fair.
Further, if Philips chooses to waive that fee for authorized dealers, that's their business :)

I dont think that there ever will be a charge for using the software.
