This is WAY cool! My company will probably use this service. Currently we small guys have to plead and whine with the suppliers to get them to fork over tools and upgrades. This might clear the decks for us.

Also, consider:
jars.com
gamelan.com

Downloadable java components.

The Toolwire guys could extend their model to include B2B proxy marketing of logic components within the context of the tools they provide. This could be VERY big for them.

"I want to use MINC today ... show me any components offered by other Toolwire subscribers that I can plug into my design that are about 'USB device interface' and their pricing, license, and other properties".

More generally, this points up value-add as a factor in vertical niche B2B.
