- colejohnson66 9y agoBusinesses pay for LibreOffice? For what?
- cyphar 9y agoBusinesses pay for LibreOffice support (like other forms of software support). Usually as part of a distribution extension (both Red Hat and SUSE have something similar on this front), but LibreOffice themselves have some support contracts as well as a certification program.
- patrickaljord 9y agoThey pay for support, not the software. If you want to sell support around your open source project, you don't need a new license for that.
- cyphar 9y agoPaying for a binary is a model that only makes sense in proprietary software, and IMO it doesn't make much sense in that model either. Supported seats is a far more usable model.
