The subject of Open Core is always a good way to stir up debate and discussion in open source circles. But there is not a clear shared definition and understanding of what Open Core means, and what all the fuss is about.

This week, Dave is joined by Joseph Jacks, the founder of the Open Core Summit, Scott McCarty, product manager from Red Hat, and Ray Paik, Head of Community at CubeDev, to discuss what Open Core means, why there is so much negative baggage around the term for long-time open source advocates, and to explore the pros and cons of choosing an Open Core model for software licensing as a company.
