I'm just starting thinking it through. It basically means Outsystems develops a proprietary platform that engages users to share their own works under OS licenses with other users to further improve the usage of Outsystems by drastically extending its adaptability, scope and use-cases.
But the platform stays proprietary and any contributions stay dependent on the platform.
While I on one hand appreciate that Outsystems encourages its community to share developments through OS licenses, on the other hand it might only serve to increase dependency on its proprietary roots.
Open source community building as a sweetener for monopolistic dependencies?
What do you think?
