JavaScript library dual-licensing business model
When browsing, I came across this post by Sachin Neravath who is earning ~$400/day from a JavaScript library. Cool, right? I looked more into the product and it's really interesting.
Sachin created the lightGallery library with GNU license but if someone needs a commercial license, they need to pay the price mentioned on the pricing page. Also, in this post, he briefly explained how exactly this works.
One issue here is, it's difficult to know if someone is using the library for commercial use without paying or not. But I think, considering most people are honest, this shouldn't be a big issue for such a business model.
While researching about this, I also came across this LinkedIn post from Sachin from 2 years ago. He shares some more insights about this in the post.
