License? Only one guy to handle the support? Dev is an Unknown quantity? Bad economy? Cost he's asking is too high? Cheaper for companies to build it themselves?

I have a lot of questions about it too. But it's clear there's something wrong in his business model here.




AGPL is quite permissive license, they may use last AGPL licensed version for quite long time.

One guy handling support doesn't stop them from using the product on Linux, does it?

Dev is the best quality in the world, as I said. I mean, there's no one who could be better.

If it's cheaper to build by themselves, why they didn't to that already?


AGPL is a restrictive license. You can't do a TiVO or a SaaS app with it.


One cannot provide AGPLed software to their customer without releasing the whole service code under the same license. Like, one cannot build cloud complier/linker to process one's customers' code. But one can link their compiled code using this linker and then sell that binaries or employ them in the SaaS all right.


How is either of those relevant for mold?
