ST becoming open-source is one thing, making it freemium another. I was talking about the latter.

Does freemium really work at all for anyone? Gets you new users quickly but then 1 in 10,000 converts. This works for established companies as they can weather the freeloaders with piles of cash from other parts of the business. Or in the case of VC-backed companies, from the money fountain (better not ask Spotify about that though).

I just can't see how a small company depending on a single product would benefit from this model.

Man, the FUD in this thread. Shill much?

Is freemium the new EEE? How do you expect the man to make money?
