#2My favourite licensing models for self-hosted software are perpetual fallback licenses. Jetbrains does this well and their description of it is:
A perpetual fallback license is a license that allows you to use a specific version of software without an active subscription for it. The license also includes all bugfix updates, more specifically in X.Y.Z version all Z releases are included.Re: 37signals Introduces "Once" - Buy software one time

#4I wonder if they're going to offer Basecamp with this model, and if so, how much is that going to cost? I imagine it would have to be in the thousands.

#5Pretty vague announcement, I find it hard to believe 37 signals will stray too far from the SaaS cash cow they arguably helped to create with basecamp..

I feel like this is going to be something closer to Tada list than Basecamp.

#9We helped pioneer keeping you on the hook perpetually for a solution! Now we've extracted maximum value out of that we're going to offer an ever wilder idea! One big fat payment for the same thing you've spent years paying and subscribing to.
Just one last attempt to extract every cent of good will out of a consumer before they truly cotton on.
At least, that's my sour angle of it. As much as I want this 'model' again.
