   To be clear: I don't like one company-controlled FS, and even less dual licensing. In many cases it just stifles development!

     @bkuhn @carlopiana Corporate driven FS: not assigning copyright to them forces them to be honest.

     @liw: it depends. The ant cannot drive the elephant, so we should aim more at a different corporate mindset. We'll get there any soon. :-)

     All this talk re: "Open Core" & single-entity-controlled #GPL software led me to blog: "Open Core" is the new Shareware: http://ur1.ca/dt7t

     "Open Core" is the new Shareware: http://ur1.ca/dt7t << Maybe the new Open Source, a self-defeating attempt to ignore freedom for profit?

     @bkuhn The term open-core arrived with a very specific definition http://bit.ly/1D9vZ9, later updated http://bit.ly/3aYWbB

     @bkuhn great post! we used to use "shareware" to describe the model before lampitt coined "open-core".

     @caostheory, those open core defns seem more convoluted than one I used, but basically same. Also, they use confusing term "dual licensing".
