interesting article. outside of gitlab, ghost.org are there other companies that embrace this model?



Not to be pedantic but out of all of those, Outline is not actually open source; they're source available but they're using the BSL, which is "source available now and open source in the future"


Fair enough. BSL is technically not open source but it is endorsed by Bruce Perens of the Open Source Initiative and I believe it is a very good license for new startups in this space.

I have no beef w/ the BSL. I think it's a great license. It's just not quite open source is all.


We have a similar model at Papercups where our product is open source https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups but we charge for hosting. We're big fans of Plausible since we both follow a similar model and are both written in Elixir :)


high five!


I made a list a while ago when I was making the decision[0]. I started on Fathom and moved to Plausible.
