i have an idea of a startup which will change a lot in security field, post-Snowden. The problem is, it will only make sense if it's open source (because otherwise it can't be trusted). How do i bill for this? It is about 80% for corporate market, rest of privacy-concerned individuals (power users).
Any idea is appreciated.
without solving this question, i will probably never move past MVP because it's hard to get funding without a solid way to bill your users, few will pay if they can cut a few lines from code, run make, and have it for free.
