I'd argue that open core products are what keeps open source alive. Without the ability to monetize the enterprise features, there'd be no justification for products like InfluxDB or others to exist.
- josephcsible 4y agoBut there are a bunch of companies with open source projects that aren't open core, like Red Hat and Grafana.
- SkipperCat 4y agoI thought Grafana was open-core. They're OSS product is in Github - https://github.com/grafana/grafana https://github.com/grafana/grafana and they also offer their enterprise version which requires a paid license. RH is pretty much the same. Maybe my definition of open-core is different than yours.
- josephcsible 4y agoYou're right, I didn't realize they did that, and I do consider them open core now that I know. I think Red Hat is still a solid example though.
