Here we go. S1E1!
Chad Whitacre is head of open source at Sentry, an application and performance monitoring software maker that moved to a business source license for its products in 2019, and then to a functional source license in November 2023. In this episode, he discusses the #tragedyofthecommons vs #enclosure, open source vs open products, #BSL vs #FSL and the story of "The #Codecov kerfuffle." #OSS #softwarecommons #opensource #opensourcesustainability #podcast
@BPariseau Thanks for this! Great to hear the story and thinking behind the approach.
Delayed-open-source seems greatly preferable to open-core.
Wondering if @dk has opinions / written something about FSL already?
@douginamug @BPariseau mixed feelings, I think it makes sence as way to license the code behind hosted services, but not for critical software. eg, for Saleor I might consider it for payment apps, or even the web dashboard, but not for the commerce engine, since I woudn't want people out there using old versions of saleor because they don't want to use saleor.io, for many reasons, for one it would encourage bad security practices
