I'm really interested in this kind of "view source" business model. Is it working for you?
There's a strong case for self-hosted apps, particularly in enterprise and school environments, and it feels like open source shouldn't be the only model for that (it's not easy to run a business based on open source software). I'm glad to see that people are trying different approaches.
Best of luck!
- vlucas 15y agoThe jury's still out on whether or not it will work for us - we just launched today! :) This software sales model isn't new, but at the same time it is not widely used. Most people either go for hosted offerings or encrypt the source code. The viewable source code model is the same one that vBulletin and ActiveCollab use, for instance.
