NICE. I like it.

The Developer subscription offers a free-of-charge option for developing and 
testing your applications. With this, your applications can go to production 
under the following conditions:

        • The app can request up to one million maps per month, and one million 
geocodes per month.
        • The app does not directly generate revenue. That is, end users must 
be able to obtain it and to use it for free.

The second is clearly true. The first one. Hmm - we have > 10k users, so with 
only a hundred maps per user we might collide with that threshold. I guess that 
depends a bit on what counts as a "map" in this context. Every tile?
Also, how many of our users are active each month - and are we allowed to cache 
the tiles. We usually see only about 2500 individual connections to the update 
server every month. So this may work, or it may not work.
If we run into problems, I'll be happy to reach out to ESRI to see if they 
would allow us higher usage.

It looks like you are making strong progress!
