Packback charges $25 per student per class so if the average student takes one class with packback a semester and there are 6,500 students that's over $160k a semester from one uni or maybe close to $400k a year with summer and winter break sections. So there's definitely money there. My idea would be to make the front-end libre, keep the back-end private (it's not proprietary since it's communication logic that's not the user's computing), anything that would be saass gets spun up separately with AGPL and you're charging for access to the platform. You can get sources from within the platform, unless there's open contribution on anything for some reason. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
