It's probably not very hard, however for an organisation or a team with several members, paying $X can be worth it - they don't have to spend effort on building and maintaining it (allows them to focus on other tasks), just deploy the binaries and contact Caddy when they need some support.

I feel like some misinformation is spread here since what you are really only paying for is building from source. The whole project is open source and you can even use commercially the source. You just have to build it yourself.

Does it not make sense that these guys would like to earn some money from this effort? That way they are also more incentivised to continue with the effort.

What kind of company finds it too costly to build Caddy themselves AND can't affort paying the license?
