Oh, I full-heartedly understand and agree!
However, I think referring to something as "free" when it's explicitly "free right now and probably not later" is a bit misleading. I doubt GP was trying to pull any wool over any eyes. In the enterprise context, especially, the differentiation is pretty important. Also, the page I linked does imply that it will become not free in the lunch sense of the term, for commercial users (already not free in the libre sense of the term, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that).
- satvikpendem 3y agoThey explicitly say free during beta and paid afterwards so if anyone misunderstands that, that's on them. It's quite reasonable to have such phrasing and many other products also have similar business models.
