Sigh... you are right about the copyleft thing. I'm not sure where my head was. Just so I get this right: you're saying that "open core" is essentially having a copyleft license and a proprietary license, while "dual licensing" is having a copyleft license and another non-copyleft free software license? If so, I can understand what you are saying :-)
- jordigh 8y agoOpen core is freemium. You can use the base under a free license but if you want fancy features, those are under a non-free license. Selling exceptions (or what someone else called, "dual licensing") means everyone gets the same software, both free and non-free, but people who don't want copyleft have to pay.
