Author here. We chose to offer a dual commercial license for this case, which is not GPL and carries none of the obligations regarding sharing source code. Of course the tradeoff i…

Thanks for sharing this. I'm in quite a similar situation with my own OSS project - it is about 5 years old now, and was started to scratch my own itch. It has naturally gained sig…

Hi HN! I'm the maintainer of Vendure. Today we released our major new version, which is a huge upgrade. I work on Vendure full time. I've been building it for about 5 years now, an…
