Thank you for the information and the commitment to open source. I know the Gold edition isn't open source under an OSI license, but is it source available for people who purchase it?
I'm strongly considering buying it because it's not a subscription, and is open source. As a general rule, I don't buy proprietary software anymore after having been burned in the past. I have no issues with open source software that has proprietary features as a way to make the project sustainable, if they are source available for paying customers, and personal modifications are allowed. Obviously redistributing any of that code, even my own modifications, would not be acceptable and would violate the license.
You mentioned that the goal is to make the Gold edition features open source eventually, so would you consider going source available?
