Unfortunately, it depends on a lot of factors. The questions you’ve raised above are the right ones, but there are more, and given the various Pro-cons, unfortunately it’s hard to give any advice without knowing specifics. How big is the market? Will those who adopt the open source version ever be your customers or will open sourcing it actually expand the market? And so on .. Either ways make sure the license you use, if you open source, is the right one and doesn’t allow a potential competitor to fork and build their own version.
