A cloudy threat looms on the horizon
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Two of the major cloud providers are about to release cloud-native FizzBuzz clones that are API-compatible with our stuff. Looks like they're using a lot of our open-core components in their backends.
I suggest we respond by punishing our customers. Shall we switch to the AGPL, SSPL, or Business Source License?

Isn't there a better idea called "sue the major cloud providers for stealing our patented idea called "FizzBuzz""?

We should sue the major cloud providers instead, but if you want to punish the customers talk to our lawyers to make the most brutal punishment possible while also forcing the customers to keep using our products.

I have access to ChatGPT 4o mini. I asked what should we do. I got this answer:
[ChatGPT 4o mini] In this situation, there are several steps you can take:
-
Assess the Impact: Analyze how these clones might affect your business. Look at their features, pricing, and the potential customer base they could attract.
-
Review Open-Core Licenses: Ensure that you understand the licensing of the components being used. If they’re using open-source components, determine if they are compliant with the licenses and what actions, if any, you can take.
-
Enhance Your Offering: Differentiate your product by adding unique features, improving performance, or enhancing user experience. Consider focusing on your community and support.
-
Strengthen Community Engagement: If you have an existing user base or community, strengthen those relationships. Provide valuable content, updates, and support to keep them engaged.
-
Monitor Their Developments: Keep an eye on their releases and updates. Understanding their strategies can help you adapt more effectively.
-
Consider Partnerships: If the cloud providers have significant reach, explore potential partnerships or integrations that could benefit your platform.
-
Market Positioning: Emphasize the unique value proposition of your product in marketing efforts. Highlight aspects like customer support, customization options, or specific use cases.
-
Gather Feedback: Engage with your users to gather feedback on what they value most in your product. Use this to guide your development priorities.
-
Legal Consultation: If you believe there’s a legal issue with how they’re using your components, consider consulting with a legal expert to explore your options.
-
Stay Agile: Be prepared to iterate quickly based on market changes and competitor movements.
By taking proactive steps, you can navigate the competitive landscape effectively.
Do you think this is a good idea, or should I ask ChatGPT 4o mini again?
There's already a PR making our product faster: #694
#712 an another cloudy threat loomed on the horizon.
Do you think this is a good idea [...] ?
Yes! I'm particularly interested in option#5. We should send a spy to their headquarters and steal their intellectual property. Nothing can go wrong!
