pricing fails to capture the value of the software, you'll make 100x more writing closed source software for a more respectful industry.
- rattray 13y agoOpen source can mean your customers contribute to product development. Thus, "the value of the software" that people pay for does become diminished: it's just having the commercial license on hand, and not having to build from source yourself. But we're not just a demanding (less respectful, in your terms) industry, we also are one that's willing to support itself - developers do pay to support each other.
