That's a pretty interesting pricing strategy. I think REHL is the only other project I saw with this type of pricing.
- gschier 2y agoI remember seeing another one while coming up with this, but now I can't remember what it was. It's definitely rare.
- DandyDev 2y ago"Is still open source" Does this mean that you anticipate Yaak not to be open source anymore at some point?
- gschier 2y agoYaak used to not require a commercial use license (original plan was to do cloud sync), so "still" refers to the fact that the commercial use license now exists, but the open source nature hasn't changed. I'll update the wording there, thanks!
- mzajc 2y agoSince the binary and source release come under different terms, are there any technical differences between them? For example, some projects (like Visual Studio Code) will telemetry in the binary release, but do not enable it by default in the source.
