Open core, not open source, only for the Community edition, wait till you notice that you will need enterprise license since most powerfull features/addons are enterprise only and you end up paying more money for "open source" ERP than normal ERP

It is at least "source available". Once you pay for an enterprise subscription (or just search around) you get the source.

  Yes, you get access to the github repo if you pay Odoo Enterprise

It’s an awesome start to a stack, you’re right though a typical seat based install runs average enterprises 25+k usd per year. I wish that someone would just make open oodo compatible plugins, because the big fundamental win is a unified data model built on open technologies.

> you end up paying more money for "open source" ERP than normal ERP That's not what I see on the market. Even the paying version of Odoo is way more affordable than traditional ERP: - licenses are 5x lower than competition: https://www.odoo.com/pricing https://www.odoo.com/pricing (avg 25€/user/month vs 180€ for Netsuite - Odoo has a "no-extra" / transparent pricing policy) - On implementation service fees, Odoo is usually from 30% to 75% cheaper: more capabilities and easier to implement or customize. As a result of capabilities + affordable, Odoo became the most used ERP in the world: 16m users (incl free ones), 200k+ clients. (Netsuite is 43k clients, Dynamics BC is 40k clients) Disclaimer: I am the founder of Odoo.

  > licenses are 5x lower than competition The competition licenses include support (like that netsuite €180 license). Odoo doesn't. When you factor in finding another company to provide support them Odoo becomes easily equal in cost to other options. Or you have to do it yourself which is also very expensive (in time rather than money). Also for some weird reason the Odoo forum is incredibly locked down. After a year of using it, I hadn't even earned enough trust to comment, let alone ask a question.
