I'm up for it.
If a foundation controls the actual Bacula code ownership, it's fairly
simple to have "support" providers contribute
I'd also point out that this is the route that OpenAFS took. It seems to
scale pretty well, with one or two commercial providers contributing funds
and development hardware from support contract revenue. OpenAFS created a
foundation to manage the contributions and hardware, thus providing an
audit

Paying $500/year for development support would be easily justifiable, with
support charges ramping up for those who actually need handholding, via an
external contractor
I'm sure there are

Hi,
I agree with Arno.
There's also something wich hurts me : a small company with ~ 2 servers
and 10 workstation would pay 100 $, and a General Electric, for example,
would pay only 500 $ ! Well, 100 $ is given compared to commercial
software, but it is not equitable in my opinion.

What my superiors generally mean for software support is that if the
product is broken, there will be some assurance that it will be fixed
and allow us to do business. From what I understand, this already takes
place fairly regularly -- if you report a bug, chances are it will get
fixed (I see

Hi,
From my experience, and I'm sure someone's already said this... the
best was to get money, at least where I work, is to consider the money a
support contract. My superiors like running software without a support
contract even less than they like paying for things. ;)
