Thanks for your response Ricardo. I agree with you that open source is not a business model. But we need to create a revenue stream for the company in addition to the open source project. Hence, the need to keep some features proprietary.

Our main objective behind open sourcing our project is because I believe that something like this should exist in the world. Today, I see a lot of proprietary solutions solving the problem we are working on and not enough open source alternatives. It's an endeavor to give back to the community.

I'd love to discuss this with you in more detail. Can I DM you?
