HACKER Q&A

Open-source advice – any recommendation?


Hi,

In our company we have built a product that makes perfect sense to release as open source.

At the same time, we are willing to generate revenues from this product.

We have zero experience with the legal, product and community aspects of this process. All I know is that it can work as it did for MongoDB, Nginx, Redis, and zillion others.

Should you know an expert in the field or might it be yourself, kindly contact me at ossa@reblaze.com.

I am looking to hire a consultant for the process.

Thanks, Tzury

Maybe consider dual-licensing. For those who want FOSS, offer them the code under GPLv3 or AGPL.

For those who want to use the code in a proprietary setting, offer a commercial license.
