People deserve to get paid on their work, and currently the best way to do that and survive in America is to work on completely closest source products that don’t respect their users. Open source is probably the most respectful but doesn’t work well as a business. We need something that works reliably for delivering real products that will achieve mass adoption. I think these source available licenses are that.

The context in the article is important. Similar to what FUTO preaches-- people don’t donate. That’s why corporate solutions usually win. Better to charge a bit of money so we can have nice things.

The plan was to rely on donations, which doesn’t usually work for hosted products.

I skimmed the article. Home Assistant Supervised seemed like it may be branding for the Docker edition, which apparently it is not.

Wait, does this mean they’re deprecating the docker image?
