[News] Bizarre Open Source Licences Categorised

The hybrid model in open source

,----[ Quote ]
| Hybrid licensing comes in three flavors:
| 
|    1. An open source developer holds out some code as proprietary.
|       Medsphere is doing this.
| 
|    2. An open source developer sells an enhanced "pro" version of
|       their code. Pentaho does this.
| 
|    3. An open source developer offers a commercial license to
|       customers who don't want the obligation of donating code back
|       to the project. OpenClovis does this.
