@gabmus@fosstodon.org Corporate contexts often require certain features to be proprietaryThat is not true. Why is it required for something to be proprietary? I believe all software should be free and there is no legitimate reason to make something proprietary.

Element can still make the same amount of money if their Server Suite was free software by slightly altering their business model.

I've worked in enterprise settings for a long time.

You know what corporations wants? They want a SLA. That's why they buy the premium packages, just for the SLA.

They do not actually care about you arbitrarily taking features away and putting them behind a paywall, doing this just harms all of your users. You should just make these features free software.

Just offer good SLA terms and people will pay good money, it's true.
