OpenDots Launches as Open Source, but the Model Costs Money
Original: Free Open Source dots Arrives as OpenDots, but the Model Costs Money
OpenDots has arrived as a free, open source release, but the underlying model is not free: accessing it costs money. The launch splits the offering in two, with the code open to all while the model itself sits behind a paywall. Observers are weighing what this means for how open the project truly is.
Why now: The contrast between an open source release and a paid model raises questions about openness that people are debating.
