On: There is no “software supply chain”

[Waterluvian]

If you want or need support or maintenance for my project in your business, offer me cash. If your first thought is, “hah, as if finance would ever green light that…” then I encourage you to fork it and tell your manager it will cost your company two to three times as much to do it yourself.

I think both are perfectly valid options. Just make informed decisions and in doing so, demonstrate business competence.

I sell both my software as OSS, and as commercial software with a delivery through a corporate appstore. Companies are happy to pay.
