Aseprite is the first to come to mind. $15 to buy but source code is on github. I think Ardour falls under this.
Robert Murphy
Just make the source code fuckin unreadable and have a shitload of deprecated dependencies etc. so nobody can actually build it from source and they need to buy it from you instead
Ayden Brooks
Aseprite is nonfree
James Cooper
Every program from the 70s
Christopher Smith
That does not respect freedom 1.
Isaiah Ward
Sure it does. You can still study and modify the code as you wish. Just because it's nearly impossible to read doesn't mean it's actually impossible. It's just a mess.
If you thought I mean encryption or something then you were mistaken
Josiah Edwards
You could write it but you'd probably do better asking for donations
Easton Foster
If you ask Stallman,he will say that obfuscated code is a way to try to discourage people from reading the source code. If you ask him, he'll confirm what I just said.
Josiah Gutierrez
And mandating payment isn't discouragement? You're probably right though, but whatever. Discouragement isn't outright blockage, so whatever.
Benjamin Anderson
It could be like an academic thing: you present the source code for anyone to look at and study, but you don't have permission to compile it or use it unless you pay.
Levi Robinson
>paying for software
I contribute with bug fixes and I donate whenever I can.
>t. AT&T UNIX >t. Microsoft Windows if you're a major multinational or great power government
Jace Hernandez
I paid for synergy a few months ago for exactly that reason. The build process for Windows requires some pretty old versions of visual studio (like 2008 I think? maybe others as well) that microsoft doesn't even offer any longer. In the end it wasn't worth my time to find and download the compilers then set up dependencies when I could pay $30 or whatever it costs and just download the fucking thing.
Tyler Ortiz
There are some iOS and Android apps that have their source code up on Github, but you have to pay to get them on the App/Play store.
Benjamin Anderson
yea, just use/write a license that says exactly that it will get pirated, but so does everything else the people who will pay for it are the same ones who would pay for it even if it wasn't open source, hell, there could be different people who'd buy it just because it's also open source and they can modify it
even the GPL doesn't forbid charging for it just do what red hat does, provide sources but no binaries (also valid with the GPL) most people don't care to compile things themselves, and unofficial binaries are off-putting to a lot of people as well
Oliver Ortiz
None of the GPL licenses have prevented you from charging for software.
The idea that free software is necessarily free as in beer as well is a falsehood.
Whether or not people want to pay you or not is a different manner.
Liam Taylor
I think xchat used to have a paid compiled version for Windows and a free compiled version and source code for Linux
Joseph Reyes
AGPL
Brody Peterson
What makes you think people won't pirate it if it's even remotely useful?
Tyler Sullivan
Kinda, there are fuckers selling HTML5 templates, with publically accessible demos. It makes you thing, if webdevs are really than fucking retarted to makes this profitable. I mean, what's exactly stopping me from just download the demo (which my browser is doing anyway)?
Leo Morris
GPLv3, surprisingly
Lucas Ward
ardour
Camden Foster
Yes. All Rights Reserved, user 2017 Showing someone the source code doesn't grant usage rights.
Adrian Gray
Stop lying here.
Zachary Nguyen
They usually sell you the updates also if the thing has a php back end you can't really just download it
Nathan Diaz
doom
Landon Mitchell
You sell the support, not the software. Make tech support paid / subscription based, like Red Hat. No licence, no patches.
Christopher Cruz

Brayden Campbell
> have to pay to use it Not like "have to pay", many companies just provide support or write their own code and provide a source code for free. If you don't know how to compile/install/run the software, pay for it.
Kevin Peterson
Look at unreal engine 4. Making something open source doesn't mean you loose copyright. If the software is mainly for professional use it's no problem.
