Compensation models
- Crippleware: The term "crippleware" is sometimes used to describe software products whose functions have been limited (or "crippled") with the sole purpose of encouraging or requiring the user to pay for those functions (either by paying a one-time fee or an ongoing subscription fee). - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crippleware
- From an Open Source software providers perspective, there is the model of open core which includes a feature-limited version of the product and an open core version. The feature-limited version can be used widely; this approach is used by products like MySQL and Eucalyptus. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crippleware#Computer_software
- Freemium is a pricing strategy by which a product or service (typically a digital offering or application such as software, media, games or web services) is provided free of charge, but money (premium) is charged for proprietary features, functionality, or virtual goods. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemium
- MySQL and a company’s market relevance in the light of “free” and “freemium” revenue models - https://guests.blogactiv.eu/2009/11/25/mysql-and-a-companys-market-relevance-in-the-light-of-free-and-freemium-revenue-models/
- Open core is a business model (as pointed out by Ian K) for the monetization of commercially produced open source software. Coined by Andrew Lampitt in 2008,[1] the open core model primarily involves offering a "core" or feature-limited version of a software product as free and open-source software, while offering "commercial" versions or add-ons as proprietary software. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_core
- Oracle's MySQL database software is dual-licensed under a proprietary license, and the GNU GPL; proprietary versions offer additional features and enterprise support plans - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_core#Examples
