Devtools Business Model

Chooses the business model for a developer tool - proprietary SaaS, open core, hosted open source, support and LTS subscription, dual licensing, source-available, consumption metering, marketplace take-rate, OEM licensing - and the go-to-market each one forces. Use whenever a founder or exec asks how a developer tool should make money, whether open core or a managed cloud fits better, where the line between free and paid belongs, whether to open-source the product at all, or why adoption is high and revenue flat, and on any monetization, revenue model or commercial open source question - even if they never say "business model". Not price points, packaging or free-tier limits - use samber/developer-relations-skills@devtools-pricing-strategy.
