Open-Source Dangers
Check licenses – Are you obligated to contribute back changes? Can you sell it?
Community Size & Traction – make sure you don’t back the wrong horse
Project Roadmap – Particularly important for company backed open-source projects like Alfresco
Support – If it’s a critical system, who’s going to support it if things go wrong?

Partnering with commercial Open-Source
Use the community edition for as long as possible until you have customers
Make sure your product roadmaps don’t compete or will cause some issues down the line
Take advantage of their marketing & PR channels as much as possible
Remember you’re a start-up – when you do start paying get the best terms!
