Probably I wouldn't have. I now they have to monetize the product, and for a software with simplicity as the strongest selling point, doing it through consultin

  Hey guys, I'd suggest you look at some competitors for pricing and come back with me, they aren't really that different. We're not going to be holding back on anything in Ansible, in fact, we're seeing several hundred contributors each month and are adding an average of 20 new modules to core each release. This release also adds role dependencies and lots of nice new performance features. For those looking for better solutions to things from proprietary software vendors, this provides a lot of options. If you're looking to not need those kind of features, Ansible is still there. One thing we're not going to do is keep making Ansible more and more complicated over time -- there's a major focus on keeping it simple. When I started this project I said "if I can make a consultancy out of this I'm doing it wrong" :) Actually being a company is good for us -- it allows us to hire extra people to work on Ansible, and it's allowing us to do more for the community not less!
