Best case scenario - a bigger company buys the technology.
I still reckon that's a major hope or motivation at the back of their minds, although in the past Alexie has denied it.
The snag is I'd guess the big guys like Google have their "low level" data harvesting infrastructure pretty much nailed down to their satisfaction, and it's mostly "higher level" acquisitions which interest them these days.
That's not to say they wouldn't snaffle something like Majestic for a few million if they saw even a marginal use for it with their existing set up (which doesn't of course imply it's useless per se if nobody buys it, just not of sufficient added value in some existing environment).
