Ask HN: Can you sell an open source app as a service?

Hi all,

I'm in the early stages of developing a language learning application and would like to keep it open source. The current plan is to develop it as an open-source web application under a non-profit organization, and sell it as a service, but also accept donations. Does this make any sense as a business model, or am I going about this all wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks!
