You're describing commercial software, not FOSS. and yes if you have 10000 customers paying $200 a year, you have a very successful business.
Of course it may take you a few minutes to convince 10000 businesses to pony up the cash, but that's the easy part right?
- feoren 1y ago> You're describing commercial software, not FOSS No, I'm describing a funding mechanism. It may be easier with commercial software, but that's because humanity is largely allergic to collective action, not because of its licensing model. Some FOSS software gets plenty of funding from many different companies that use it, e.g. Blender.
