Is it open source?
I mean, what if it breaks, can I go in and fix it myself?
If you decide to raise prices on me, can I just host it myself on AWS?
Are there any opaque parts?
- meredydd 9y agoAnvil is a commercial hosted service. We have on-site/private-cloud versions, but they're targeted at our larger business customers. Open source is great, but charging for our product has enabled us to bootstrap a profitable, growing business (did I mention we're hiring?) - which in turn means we'll be around to keep it working :)
- projectramo 9y agoI absolutely think you should charge for your product. But if critical parts of the code are not available for the user to modify/fix/own, I think it will only ever be used for internal sites and proof of concepts.
