That's a good point.

(What do you consider open source biz models?)
> OSS as the new shareware
I think I understand what you mean. At the same time, in my case using only the OSS parts of the open core software, has been more than what I've needed
> I watched a talk recently
That talk sounds interesting, ... If you remember the name or speaker maybe I can find it?

- pabs3 7y agoIt wasn't the talk I was thinking of, but this NextCloud talk discusses various OSS business models and mentions the AWS vs VC-OSS issue, especially during the questions section. https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/gpl_and_business/ https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/gpl_and_business/
