You've also built your business on top of these open source projects. What about those projects who are struggling to be sustainable?
-
if the extra users who are brought to a project by training don't help support the project, the project's business model is unsustainable
-
Project's business model? It's free open source. There's no business model.
-
even open source has a business model of how the project is going to stay active
-
wider question of the sustainability of open source projects with no commercial stream might be the biggest question about OSS as a model
-
But there are lots of common streams. For example
@sebmck is paid by his company, and often works on OSS. -
and that's part of the project's business model, even if it's a not for profit/non commercial
-
Yes. Totally agree.
