There is a range of paid extra functionality that isn't MIT licensed (the extras that make up part 2's paid offer above), so if AWS hosts it "competitively" it'll be missing many of the extra features larger organizations would want to buy. If we didn't have these extras, we'd probably need a non permissive license or a belief that AWS competing like this would increase awareness so much it could be a good thing.
- stanboyet 4y agoI've always wondered how you manage this (2) tech-wise. Here are my contradictory hypotheses: - I don't expect to find the code for such features in the open-source repo - I guess you dogfood your own product and therefore host exactly what you publish in your open-source repo How do you "plug" these closed-source features to the product? I've always been curious of this as I strongly believe in this way of doing business for a SaaS. PS: amazing company ~you've built~ you're building, GG ;)
