I definitely like the model that's used by the Python foundation and the like -- respecting Freedom, but making profit through consultancy. That was what kind of inspired me to make Immutable Coffee.
- Crinus 7y ago> making profit through consultancy This incentivizes making software that requires consultancy (or at best, disincentivizes fixing issues with the software that would lessen the income from consultancy). Your profit should come from the software being the best it can be (not to be confused with having the most bloated feature checklist) by itself, not by anything surrounding it.
