> Open core is a relatively new model Sure, if twenty years ago is relatively new. Since that doesn’t seem to be the way “modern devs” prefer to think regarding “age”, I’m going to have to stop reading here. Ex: MySQL was, technically, open core 20 years ago, they weren’t the only ones, and it didn’t turn out to be a major disaster despite some stupid decisions. Amazon may make more money with MySQL than anyone else on the planet, but “open core” certainly was compatible with a sustainable business.
