Hi startup experts, I work on Lokal.so for 4 month , but there is another thing I'm need to focus on

now, I really need a suggestion

What I'm gonna do with Lokal is:

1. Making it open source but with BSL License 2. Making it free for personal use (non-profit related) 3. License key needed if you are going to use the software for commercial/profit-related purpose. 4. The cloud version is still there 5. Offer the enterprise version

after that I'm going to move on another thing while I can just wait for Lokal sales

now, is this all are the "correct" way? or there is another better path?

Your comments really means a lot to me
