They expect to make up the difference in revenue that they got from licenses from services sold to a greater number of organizations that would not have been customers otherwise.

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.

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. Which is fine. 2 Tompkins Spann 03.21.08

I stopped at the license agreement. I might regret hosing the recovery media w/o getting them on CD later, but I hope not – I was in a purist mood – I would have had to have agreed to the license agreement for Vista and activated the product in order to burn the media, and I wasn’t about to do that.)

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 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.

Depending on the CRM, some require additional license fees for forms or APIs. But if full, true integration isn’t possible (our CMS is WordPress, so our options of integration with Salesforce are a bit more limited), then a well-thought hybrid strategy can work without a lot of resources. So what’s the right strategy?
