    "Directus is definitely making us a lot more capable than we would be trying to go it alone." The digital team at Ripley Entertainment (led by Suzanne Smagala-Potts) increased conversions by 7% and engagement by 53% when they overhauled their online presence earlier this year.

    CEO & Founder of Directus

    One year ago, we made a tough call at Directus: changing our license from GPL3 to BSL 1.1. It was a decision that kept me up at night... but one that has transformed our business. Here's our story, one year later: Like many open-source projects, we faced a critical challenge: despite saving our customers millions, few large corporations ever contributed back. It's the classic open-source dilemma — create immense value, but struggle to capture enough revenue to keep the lights on and sustain development. We knew something had to change, but we were determined to maintain our open-source values. After months of deliberation, we landed on the BSL 1.1 license. This allowed us to keep Directus free for nearly all users while requiring financial contributions from larger entities. Now, most pricing changes never go well. And that's amplified 10x when you're discussing open source licensing. But our switch went really well — and it's because we didn't make this decision alone: - We opened a GitHub discussion that garnered over 200 replies - Ran Town Hall discussions in our 12k+ member Discord community - Consulted with open-source thought leaders - And involved our community in every step of the way Now, a year later, the results speak for themselves. - We've seen a staggering 200% growth in annual recurring revenue - We've removed all "Cloud Exclusives," benefiting every single user - And contrary to fears, our community contributions and growth have continued unabated This journey has taught us crucial lessons, and reaffirmed a big personal belief of mine: Transparency isn't just nice to have — it's essential. Involving our community in finding solutions turned a potential crisis into an opportunity. We've learned that balance is the key to sustainable open source, and that new models like post-open licenses are gaining traction for good reason. Open source needs new models to thrive long-term. By reimagining our approach, we've managed to boost sustainability without sacrificing our core values. Directus isn't just surviving — it's thriving... and that's a win for everyone who relies on our platform. As we look to the future, I'm more convinced than ever that open-source can be both idealistic and sustainable. It's not an easy path, but it's one worth taking. ✨
