That's complete cobblers. 

If you currently have zero market share, then there's no reason why you 
shouldn't sell an Ever-Lasting Gobstopper, even if you won't be able to 
sell a second one.

Sure, that's tough on Symantec/NAI/Sophos/etc, but why should you care? 
You go right ahead and develop it, and sell it.
