Blown away by how decent this software is, I hope they keep up the community thing/open source thing. Companies like smoothwall have pretty much ditched their open source bit altogether which is a big shame.
That's probably because maintaining both generates a shitstorm of support bullshit from free-edition users.
We find we get more hassle from people who don't pay than people who do, which slowly edges us away from bothering to release CE. For us CE is really just advertising. We do it because ~12% of users upgrade to subscriptions.
Really, no company should be running something like Observium operationally without the updates that's in subscription. It's too much of a liability for the price! :)
