May be I'll take this way. But now it's too early do decide. At least because currently Akshell doesn't have many users and applications; so if I opensource the core, anybody would be able to setup an absolutely equivalent server.

Sure - you'll need to take a bit of a wait and see approach, but personally I'm hesitant to build anything at this point. If I wanted to build something serious on it I'd be relying on you to stay in business...

And when I suggest open sourcing I am thinking in terms of the bare minimum to setup an app on another server - so your very cool editing system wouldn't need to be part of it, that would be what makes you different from anyone else who sets up their own server.

Well, the edition system isn't mine; it's EditArea, a free client-side JS library by Christophe Dolivet. But opensourcing a part of Akshell may be a good idea. I should think about it. Thank you.
