I have been receviving a lot of feedback on Adoppt.com and based on the
feedback, I have one question:
Should I open source my project? What are benefits / drawbacks?
Adoppt employs many principles that I have learned over the years.
Alongwith my upcoming Pro Rails book, it will be something nice to give
back to the community.
So far I think I would like to Open Source the software only for
personal use and place a licensing fee for commercial use. Is that
possible with Open Source? I know MySQL does something like this.
If I do Open Source it, should I host the code myself or put it on
Sourceforge or Rubyforge?
Questions / Ideas / Experiences / Suggestions Welcome
