After what AWS did with Elasticsearch, I think a lot more projects are going to start being released like this. In a world where tech behemoths can choose to throw a hundred engineers at an open source project and replicate all the features an independent developer (or group of developers) can provide "on top" to make a living, it becomes very hard to sustain yourself. Not strictly open-source, but I see it as a defense mechanism in order to survive.
