Quite right .. I was just in the original mindset of the question. I 
also failed to mention that it need not be RPC that's exposed to 
actually make it work .. it could (should) be wrapped via most any tunnel.

 From a practical standpoint, if you're going to "host" the 
SecretSauce.DLL file, you might as well just offer the whole thing as a 
hosted application.

You're still probably best off with a good EULA and legions of lawyers.
