Congratulations to the graph.cool team! I've been following them for a couple of months now and I am very impressed by the passion and the progress that they put in. Some really cool stuff cooking in the GraphQL community.

Trello + Pomello is a quite powerful combo. Not only I use it for focusing, but also tracking time that I spend on freelancing (down to specific Trello tickets).

Completely agree that open sourcing the software can be very good for the business (I'm a little biased though).
Think of OSS as an entry into the market - you get exposure, feedback and community (if you actively invest into building it). If your software creates value for enterprises, they will pay you anyway because they need commercial support and some sort of warranty and reliability.

I'm assuming that filesprout doesn't do anything about EU VAT because I couldn't find any information on their site.
What does it actually mean then? They're likely to be responsible for EU VAT anyway. Do they provide me with EU VAT invoice that states supplier's VAT number? If not, then it can't act as an intermediary, and that makes them responsible for EU VAT, even if they're based in the US.
Can I comply with EU VAT myself selling through it? Very unlikely. For each B2C transaction EU requires me to have 2 pieces of non-contradictory evidence of customer's location. I will likely need buyer's IP, billing address, card country and in some cases even additional verification if all other pieces evidence contradict (actually happened to me when I was travelling). It doesn't seem that filesprout handles all of that and can provide me with that information.
