Programmer for 20y (since I was 11). Architect/Lead for hundreds of complex web projects.

Ambition: Implement web development environment based on Object-Oriented patterns similar to Graphics User Interface and make it really simple to use.

Open-Source Project I work on, Agile Toolkit (). It grew quickly to become a great alternative to development with conventional frameworks.

I am also an entrepreneur, a CTO, a Consultant, a husband and a proud father. Get in touch with me, I love feedback and project-based work offers!

comment Changing Licensing model for a Software Framework to more permissive
developers.slashdot.org/story/11/12/17/1735253/… I think many developers adopt MIT to help software become more popular and they don't really care about it. I stayed with my current license for few months now and it works great.

I have many users do that like you say. Noone is officially open-sourcing anything as of yet. I know people are working on both personal and paid projects and I hear good reviews and they say they will purchase license when they sure that the system works for them. That's OK, because if they don't publish their project, they don't need to publish their code for it even if it's AGPL. GPL is different because you don't need to publish your code except when you distribute your site and with PHP that's the only way anyway.

I fear this might be preventing the adoption. I'm getting very positive feedback from some of the users, but I fail to see growing market penetration.

comment SaaS vs local distribution and GPL implications
Ask author of the software to license it to you in non-GPL license.

comment How do sites like Stack Overflow and Quora make money?
Stack Overflow is high-volume site, it has lots and lots of impressions. They can drive ad prices up easily (unlike general blogs). SaaS solutions have much much lower traffic, but they earn much more from user on average.
