Agreed. This is the way forward for most software monetization (in case of web applications): Have a FOSS licensed application, where you can pay for a hosted version. I think this is a fair model where you pretty much outsource devops for the software to the company who builds it.
If you want to self-host it (maybe legal or security reasons), you can do that without cost or hire their consultants in helping you doing that.
- m-p-3 7y agoBitwarden (open source password manager) uses this model and I think it's great. Those who want to host it themselves can do so, and those who cares about open-source but aren't comfortable managing the server can use the free hosted version or pay for some additional features.
