people's labor should be well compensated. this is a good move from Sentry, Mongodb and others that will follow. yeah, you've people with freeware or fsf idealism i.e Stallman ideas.That Sentry and the others betrayed their ideas. But simply, FU - let them get paid. Sentry is an amazing product. & the people who work on it should be able to put food on the table & sleep well, without worrying about Amazon n parasites. I think the greatest misconception is between open source and open core. & we should start labeling a bunch of software on Github as such. Now the parasitic cloud providers such as AWS won't profit via someone's work. when they hardly contribute to open core | source
- rstupek 7y agoSentry, mongodb, et al. all got as big as they did by promising to be open source. Do you think they'd be where they are today had they not been open sourced? I personally do not.

Do you have any proof to back this assertion? > It’s important to remember that Sentry “the project” has been developed almost exclusively by employees of Sentry “the company”; millions of dollars have paid the salaries of engineers, designers, and product people to produce the software we know and love today. I don't have any skin in this game, but they claim that most of the code contributions were by employees paid for by Sentry. Do you have evidence to the contrary?
