Hey, I just want to say your post generally resonated with me and definitely made me want to check out qbix. I've also spent years on developing software that I'm giving away for free - most of it anyway, but not the parts that would enable others to offer commercial hosting at scale. My software is "just" implementing standards (ISO and OASIS) though, so users don't have to spend their time on proprietary languages, APIs, markup, protocols, etc. With your initial statement on non-free software by start ups and your conclusion to give it all away, I thought you might be interested in this standard-oriented approach as kind of a middle ground between proprietary vs free/open SW.
