Obsidian also has affordable commercial pricing. By now I very much try to pay support contracts or give back to projects in other ways at work.

The problem is that quite a few open core companies immediately go from $0 / year to low to medium 6-digit-figures per year. This escalates the entire project sky-high in levels of internal scrutiny with a high chance of it not happening.

On the other hand, it was simple to argue why this is easily providing us with $50 in value per year. Now it is integrated with our normal license handling and it's actually slowly and steadily growing internally. We're up another 4-5 users from the last time I looked.

In case you missed it, Obsidian is now free for work. The commercial license is an optional donation, similar to the Catalyst license.

Yes. I have mentioned this internally, but my boss has agreed to keep it.
always nice to see the CEO doing evangelism work. Keep it up my man :-)
