Many OSS projects are supported by a crew of volunteers trying to solve a simple problem in the world around them. And most OSS projects don’t judge their true success with monetary metrics.

With that said, when an OSS project becomes a breakout success, if the OSS creators don’t bring a scalable commercial offer to market, someone else will.

At Omnistrate, we recognize the importance of balancing the principles of open source with the need for sustainability. We believe that creators should have the freedom to choose how they license their software while still being able to monetize their efforts. That's why we're introducing a new approach to bringing OSS Apps to the cloud.

This raised concerns among open source inventors who felt their work was being exploited for profit.
