| Several years ago, I found myself confronted with the decision of whether to

| considerable literature on the strategic benefits of open-source freeware as
| an enabler modern version of the razor and blade strategy (giveaway the
| client or development tool or razor, sell the server or the runtime or the
| blades), our software was not lending itself very well to such a separation.

| But if the distribution of customer types is such that a single model does
| not dominate, this model can actually be implemented using dual licensing,
| where one category of customers is segmented from another and charged
| differently, by offering both a commercial license and an open-source,
| usually GPL-like license.
