It’s not. There’s no current plan for that as we don’t have a large corporation backing our development.
This doesn't make much sense... why not simply say then "because we don't want to"?

- VoxPelli 6y agoAgree. They could though do a classic dual license with an open version being some kind of AGPL or similar a strict copyleft license and the closed proprietary version be one without copyleft restrictions.
