It's the same business model that Jira used in the past, when the alternatives were Mantis, Trac and Bugzilla. They had[1] one of the better and well designed issue trackers, free for OSS projects. That turned into a great way to champion adoption within paying customers' organizations.
[1] In my opinion, they have since lost that edge on the UI.
- stevoski 11y agoI remember seeing this new much improved UI for bug tracking on OSS, and thinking, "Thank goodness they're no longer using Bugzilla". And then using it a bit, and thinking, "I've got to get that bug tracker into the org I'm working for." Yep, it was Jira. It was a great strategy they used!
