Comment on Working on an emulated-OS docker container
mhredox@lemmy.world 1 year agoTruly appreciate the feedback!
I am definitely leaning open source, but to be completely candid, I could also see this being a very marketable product. If I could somehow turn maintaining this into my full time job and quit my current job without any significant drop in my salary, I would be completely stoked.
To be honest, I’m not super familiar with licensing or really anything regarding the release of software, but I would like to maintain the possibility that I could eventually sell/monetize it if it turns out to be a huge success, and I’m afraid that once it becomes FOSS, that possibility is gone.
Like I said though, I honestly have no idea, so I would love and feedback or suggestions.

AGPL + CLA would potentially be an option? Then you can sell licenses to those who want to make proprietary modifications. It seems to work for other projects.

I will absolutely look into this. Thank you :) definitely looks like I’ll be opening source though. I didn’t realize there were already so many FOSS alternatives. Suppose I should have done more research, but I guess I figured they would be more popular/ talked about on platforms such as this.
