Ask HN: Is it a good practice to provide open-source version of your paid app?
Hello hackers,
I am Prasanna, the founder of PrivJs (https://privjs.com) - Internet's first open-core software marketplace.
While building a few products, I was wondering if it could be a good practice to release a chunk of my paid software to the open-source community? Will that have any adverse effects on the product? Or will it benefit overall?
