We don't believe startups and SME's make up a large enough market to build a sustainable company in the long term. The amount you can charge to small organizations pales in comparission to what you can charge enterprises (value-add x # of developers). At the same time, selling to SME's is almost always a [SaaS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service) business. While there are success stories of this, such as [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.com/) we don't think it's the right route for source{d}.

The current model that we are exploring is to have single node versions of our technology stack be fully open-source under a permissive licenses such as [Apache 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) but multiple nodes of our stack that allow distributed computing over a large amount of repositories with a large number of concurent users to be under a restrictive license.
