>>From my perspective, blindly rallying behind a business with an open core business model is a recipe for disaster that may lead to future disappointment and failure. Interestingly the mental thoughts of each party affects the outcome. i.e. Let's say until now 90% of open source projects were fully truly open. Once a large percent say 40%+ are open core as a trick to lure users into a later high cost trap. At some point users will become wise to the trick and open-core will no longer have marketing value. It's similar to food adverts saying "no added sugar", I actually take it as a negative and assume they have a lot of natural sugar or have added something else e.g. salt/fat.
