That's part of why it works. If you start making money, you have to pay to use the software you've already designed your product around.
- joemazerino 4y agoHow do you enforce payment? Chasing vendors around? Adding analytics to your platform to tattle-tale?
- jahewson 4y ago“Making money” is not a workable definition. What if my product is free but my company makes money off support? What if it’s freemium but I have not added a paid tier yet? What if my product looses money? What if my software is free but I use it to promote my personal brand and pick up consulting work? I’d say that all of those scenarios are commercial.
