I wish SaaS companies (not just DatoCMS) would learn that developers will not adopt their products if they don't have source access.

This product could have easily been FOSS with it's pricing model based exclusively on support/hosting.

If you want early-adopters - be hacker-friendly, not money/data-hungry.

It's a very interesting topic.. we're seriously considering open-sourcing it. Honestly, the fear of having negative economic returns from this operation is very high :( Is this your main reason for your lack of interest in the product btw?

Yes - and while I'm no Richard Stallman - I try to only use FOSS software but have made concessions for requirements at work (G Suite, Slack, etc).

Would have been an instant install otherwise.
