Thanks for fman and for the transparency of your whole process. I am decidedly interested in your open-sourcing fman, I'll add myself to the subscription list.

Thanks for fman and for the transparency of your whole process. I am decidedly interested in your open-sourcing fman, I'll add myself to the subscription list.
I have a suggestion: why don't you launch a kickstarter (or other more suitable campaign) to collect a fund acting as a payment for the open-sourcing of fman. That could compensate you for the tremendous effort that went in the development till now.
- mherrmann 9y agoI don't think I'd really get a lot of money on Kickstarter. if people want to financially support the project, they can simply get a license [0]. [0]: https://fman.io/buy https://fman.io/buy
- panta 9y agoYeah, I think I was one of the early licenses, but I was wondering if there was a way to open source it while preserving the financial benefits.
- mherrmann 9y agoThank you for having gotten a license. I've given it a lot of thought and don't think there is a way to open source and become financially viable. See for instance https://fman.io/blog/why-fman-isnt-open-source/ https://fman.io/blog/why-fman-isnt-open-source/.
