AGPL closes the "loophole" for server-side code. Meteor pushes a lot of code to the client. This most probably constitutes distribution. See Sencha's take on this: http://www.sencha.com/legal/open-source-faq/ They make money by dual-licen

Three approaches come to mind: 1) Sell professional support This is how most open source software companies make money. This usually includes some horrendous subscription fee and guaranteed SLAs. I never quite understood, why this works. My

I do not want to weigh in on the issue as a whole, but rather shed some light on an aspect you as a single coder have probably not given much thought to: accessibility and maintainability. When I started using ruby on rails, adhering to all
