Open Source business models

---

• Undermine competitors (Google, now even Microsoft does it)

• Create a huge user-base, a small fraction of it will pay money for hosting (MongoDB, Redis) or extra features (GitLab).
• Get paied for support (e.g. RedHat)
• Dual licenses (one version as GPL, other as some corporate-friendly license)

• Get developer mind-share (VS Code by Microsoft, React by Facebook, ...)
