Good explanation. There will be companies who prefer to self host and those who don’t, and having an option of paid support or cloud hosted can go a long way especially when the open source project can set itself up as a first class plugin in the Microsoft cloud. Many of not most companies are already on Microsoft and it ensures a good amount of support for open source so they don’t have to separate features into different tiers. One of the more interesting open source setups was a product that was licensed both as open spruce and commercial, and the customer (often government or education) would have a policy of commercial only or open source only and they could support it both ways.
