@Madchatthew I think there’s always that same danger no matter which open source solution you go for. By its very definition, open source comes at significant cost to the maintainer in terms of time, effort, and knowhow, so they often release a paid version of the product as a means of recovering some of that invested time in the form of revenue.
It’s when the commercial product requires more attention than the open source version that causes conflicts, and that version is often the casualty.
This makes sense. Then unless you can get some people to help you maintain and update the code you are doing it all yourself and that takes up time to not being able to implement new features and now you are using more resources because you have more people helping and such. It all multiplies and pretty soon you either have to abandon it or come up with a way to make money to keep everything going.
@Madchatthew True. I think this is the reason as to why most Open Source projects are abandoned because they are not sustainable in the long-term.
