I'm wondering if you've considered an additional option - "donation subscriptions". For people who are deriving a lot of value from a fork, and want to support you!

Github sponsors work that way!

Curious on on how ee license works - will it not stop somebody to take that source and run it for free ? or do parallel implementation on top of your free offerings.

We expect to follow Gitlab's path on this. There will be 2 repos. One with EE licensed code and the other one completely foss.
eg: Gitlab[0] vs Gitlab FOSS [1] code
We are following the path Gitlab has taken. To sustain as a business, we will have some modules suited for large enterprises under an EE license, but it would not hinder the open-source part and the freedom that comes with it. If people want to build on Chatwoot, they will be free to do that.
