Perhaps combine. Make it open source for personal / non-commercial use. License it for companies who will use it commercially. I don't know the details of the product (complexity for example) but might be worth it test if people are interested in workshops / training. Not sure if you're interested in offering that of course.
Edit: Also, think of what is more important now. Getting people to use the framework or make the perfect decision on how to make money with it.
- ra00l 13y agoI like the idea of mixed license. However, do you think anyone uses a/b testing for personal/non-commercial purposes?
- bjansn 13y agoPerhaps you're right, it's an edge case. But for other open source projects it can be interesting to use or at least try. What I'm not sure about is, how do people try the library. Buying a library without testing it might be a big step. In my experience developers like to try something in their apps and then pay for it when they have commercial use for it.
- ra00l 13y agoYou're right about a trial version... Can be quite tricky.
