  You miss the point - the suggestion stated "3-5% of the selling
price" - so, if you include something as a "free" enhancement, you are
going to be giving away 3-5% of your selling price for that product.
On the other hand, you could raise the price 3-5% and pass that on to
the inventor and make the same profit as before.
