Session
Developing free software is cool. Having users is even cooler. Being able to make a living from it is the coolest!
WeasyPrint is an open-source Python library, with the first commit dating back to April 20, 2011. However, we’ve only been making a living from it since 2020 💸.
During this presentation, we will explore the evolution of our free software and how we transitioned from a project developed and used within a company to a product with paying clients.
We will discuss various solutions for earning money with free software, why we chose some of them (and not others), and how to implement them.
