Comment to Open Source & Paid Modules :--- Upgrade Concern (Paid Module vs Github Module Upload)

  • Github modules are all listed as DEV. If you do not have the technical know-how to fix the issues when they arise, installing from github will be catastrophic.

    Example. You have a module from github installed. You upgrade UNA. The module in github will not update, nor will an auto update script be available. This is essentially why you pay a license, for ease of care and installation.

    Also, I highly doubt you will find help here for DEV modules installed from github. So you will be on your own.

    Individual developers can release software under any license they want. Even if UNA requires MIT. That is a choice of the developer. Whether UNA would remove such product, I don't know. But myself personally, would never deliver a paid product under such open license.

    Anyhow, that is the simple answer to your question.

    • @Wise Thank you very much for this well informative reply. Well explained and thank you.

      But I must say, it is very tempting to know you get that close to owning a module with its benefits to your system but never to keep it. But it gives you a good idea of how it works at least.
