Hi, We have some plans to make our software 100% open sourced and release the new version under GPL v3 license and use the donation approach instead? Would you donate if you find esyndicat directory script useful? Join the discussion in the official user forums at eSyndiCat. Thanks!
No. I think you should keep pushing the product and make it better as the money comes. I am not familiar with it, but this is my opinion as there are a bunch of open-source CMS and plugins for opening a directory. I have recently started three different niche local directories using free open-source platforms and they ALL suck! If the biggest ones suck then I wouldn't count on open-source as a way of making your product better by bringing in outside developers.
