I can't just help thinking that if this software was truly both non-trivial and useful that it would be relatively easy to pick up $30k "after" open sourcing it via consulting or customization work.

- wes-exp 13y agoI feel like the OSS consulting model benefits from releasing buggy, hard to use software that requires the developer's assistance to get working. It sounds like she wants to release software that works well without needing any maintenance, which would tend toward a payment up-front model.
