I do see it as a possibility of a number of open source projects pooling together so you can buy a single CRA license and it covers all the projects in the pool and all the dependencies.

For example GNU could run a pool containing all the applications / libraries under it's general banner.

This might encourage a slightly tighter control of dependencies as well. As you would have an advantage to all your dependencies being in the same pool as you.

Not sure about the social logistics of projects pooling together. However, regardless, it sounds like the CRA makes tighter control of dependencies valuable. (Which would generally be good).
