But, that would be a nice incentive to go so far as to fork the github project, fix the bug, then issue a pull request. A free or reduced license for use in closed source project(s) would be a nice bonus for getting a pull request accepted into the core. But if you think about it, having ones name in the list of contributors of such a large project would be a real bonus for the old resume and the value of that might far exceed the cost of a free production license.http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment5http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment5Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:57:11 GMTThere should actually be a strong incentive for users to do this. If they provide you a failing test for an issue, chances are you will incorporate that into your automated runs. Thus, the likelihood that the issue that broke them specifically will re-emerge has dropped drastically. http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment4http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment4Wed, 13 Feb 2013 15:53:48 GMT@Killman of course!http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment3http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment3Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:20:42 GMT@jon I hope you were being sarcastic. Most of these types of bugs are edge cases that don't show up outside of real world use. Oren has a great track record of fixing these bugs quickly. Even quicker if the customer provides a failing test. If I'm not mistaken a bug report is NOT a bug fix. http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment2http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment2Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:24:17 GMTYou've got the best business model in the world, don't pay developers just have the community fix your product! You should start offering reduced licenses for people who find/fix bugs. That should iron out a few more kinks in the product.http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment1http://ayende.com/160933/ravendb-has-the-best-users#comment1Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:01:36 GMT
