Sorry, but your logic here just makes no sense.

  ? $70 too much. $50 = ok price. SublimeText no open source. If SublimeText open source, me agree pay $70 for my 2nd and 3rd employee, because open-source = greater good. I reckon paying for open-source could be the other thing that doesn't make sense to you (although you didn't explain much). I reckon it's surprising, but it's entirely ok to charge for open-source and/or add an "Enter your activation key here" locker. You just have to know that your customers can remove the keylock and redistribute your software; but most businesses won't, because they're happy paying for someone's work, and they want support. The GPL even has a full page on this: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html So I might add: $70 for open-source is ok. $50 for closed source is ok.
