You aren't differentiating too far from TurboGears at this point.
I don't quite follow this, but...
Uh oh.
Actually, I would like to be told. I'm pretty sure that with a decent
explanation, I could follow. Your self-described "gem" is--by you--so
vaguely explained that this whole operation doesn't inspire any
confidence.
More problems: large form to fill out; huge license agreement; very
little documentation outside of PDF; online demo links to a local IP
address; NOTHING I can find on the website actually runs on Brainwave
etc. etc.
Maybe in a few years I'd give this a try, but for now, I'd focus on
releasing something that you are willing to back a bit more. Spend
all your time making your website look good with content that is
available online easily. Don't make it a chore for me to get your
product. If you don't trust your own product enough to run your own
website/blog on it, hide the PHP file extension, and don't put a
banner on your blog proclaiming a competitor's product.
Try not to take this too harshly--I hope it is constructive criticism.

Brainwave is a complete Web Development Platform with a DDL-free
database. Its application server is built on CherryPy. It comes
already bundled with Cheetah and Mako templating engines. And its
database is its true gem.

The database is built on a "neural" model. Each significant piece
of data is a meme that can be linked to other memes allowing for
creation of complex records that can be easily related to other
records.

It's free for single-server users and licenses can be purchased for
the development and deployment of fuly scalable enterprise apps on
multiple servers.

Noone can really be told what Brainwave is. You have to download
and try the SDK for yourself at http://www.brainwavelive.com..
