Commercialize code. Master Open Core, Support, and SaaS business models for open source software projects.
How do you make money giving code away? This course explores successful Open Source Software (OSS) business models. You will learn the 'Open Core' model (free basics, paid enterprise features), the 'Red Hat' support model, and the managed SaaS model. We cover licensing implications (AGPL vs MIT) for monetization, building a contributor community that doubles as a sales funnel, and navigating the ethics of commercializing community work.
