FOSS > ONCE > SaaS

ONCE is a comprimize but it is not an ideal. I would rather have true freedom to use software as I wish.

well sure, as a user FOSS is ideal, but as a developer it's not ideal you're not getting paid for your software...

Just paying a developer once for software you use seems like a decent compromise
