It would not be as cost-effective (and thus, not produce as much profit) if these SaaS developers had to pay license fees for the software they use (besides the fact that these are the most stable and robust platforms to build upon.) It’s my understanding that none of the major non-profit SaaS players use open source tools.

In fact, pretty much every open source project that has gone commercial, or had a change in license, caused a fork, pretty much killing the original (like Mambo, or XFree86.) They have had an active user community, many of which, I imagine, are going elsewhere.

I stopped at the license agreement.

But I’m sure that their services pricing has been adjusted to account for loss of licensing revenue. Without the s/w to install it (and strongly suspecting that doing so just to “check it out&# is a waste of time), I have to believe that their goal here is to get clients to buy services.

Just threatening to sue, threatening to get license fees (which, for some open source projects would be a major problem) is enough to make people doubt the future of open source. It’s “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt&# all over again. Of course, the 800 pound gorilla doesn’t actually have to sue anyone.

Unlike the others, that are released under varied open source licenses, the code for SQLite is public domain. I’d argue that PostgreSQL is a better choice, but for most nptech applications, it doesn’t matter – what matters is what your tech/consultant knows, and that’s much more likely to be MySQL.
