🏭opensource strategies - enterprise user

Enterprises tend to be quite conservative and risk averse. There are also more process in place e.g. vulnerability scans, code scans, security audits etc. Often requirements may vary from project to project due to sheer scale of projects it might make sense to consider each project individually. They may also want to have flexibility of running it on-premises, private, or public cloud.

Given this, having source-code in open-source is generally preferred as they can fix the problems themselves or warm up the community in case you cease to exist. Secondly, given the stringent requirements they are in need of fitting the architecture with right amount of customizations for which open-source might be best method in their mind.

A successful strategy here could be an open-core model. Where core of the project is available in public, serving as enabler and add-on pieces are value add.
