Hi all, hi Bernard... probably, my response is a bit

time reading (hopefully!) carefully all the answers...
Thus, my 0,02$:
I think that probably the correct question is: "Please convince me to
make my business model" :-)
I agree with others that probably, the SaaS business models require
closed source. Thus, probably, no choice...
IMHO the open source software implies a different business model,
something similar to "partnership".
Good luck, honestly,
Giuseppe Briotti.
Giuseppe, the business model is my choice and I am free to decide an
other business model what is normally used. And the consequence of this
choice is completely to me, with succes or with failure.
I appreciate you all have been made suggestions. The start of the first
thread was :
*Summery of my question* :
My conditions are :
*I decide if I make Wikibox Blue Open source
*I decide when Wikibox Blue will be Open source
*I decide on which conditions Wikibox Blue will be open source.
The last item is the implies the business model.
In my first attempted I had "good faith" in the community, which was
abused by a few people. Not the whole community.
I feel it is normal after your trust is abused you lose trust. You need
to regain that. That was also my question.
If you start asking a question, you do not know the answer. If you did
there is no need to ask a question.
Reading all the comments, I made my decision. I would prefer something
else, but in the current circumstance I can not afford doing something else.
Thanks for your reply Giuseppe.
With regards Bernard
