Answer by Steve Coltman: What are the possibilities to make a business if I decide to publish my software as Open Source? How can I test if a business model works for me?

Fully agree with Dan.

The most important question is: could you build a community around your software?

Which, by the way, will no longer be your software.

Hope this helps

PS: I am currently selling Open Source Software (OSS) and the key is to be competing with proprietary software (not other OSS companies)
