Did you think about using dual licensing? GPL + Proprietary for paid users?
We really don't like the 'traditional' open source economic model - with a community version and all the good features in a proprietary enterprise edition. The community version is almost necessarily weak and you end up annoying your users. We'd prefer to keep as open as possible and have a commercial SaaS or open core model.
Isn't this opposed to this?

This is what I thought open core was, am I wrong?
A commercial SaaS model would make a lot of sense for a project that wants to remain completely free software, though. You are the people who know your code best, and it makes sense to trust and pay you to run it reliably.
We want people to build stuff on our database whether they are companies or individuals and we don't want to encumber this with stumbling blocks.
We intend to do this by having a SaaS revenue model which doesn't require we hobble anything in the database in order to make money.
I wish you success!
