Licensing and pricing to enable common architecture
What Is an Infrastructure Community?
• Any community sharing software– Goal: A common, interoperable software
infrastructure– Across projects, divisions, companies,
programs• Examples
– Software supply chains– Enterprises or corporate divisions– Government or industry standards
communities (FACE, UCS, COE, ICE)– Large projects
• “Everyone you care about”
Infrastructure Community Model
• Free core RTI DDS for entire IC– Full source & binary for latest RTI DDS
• Market leading: 70% share• Windows & Linux pre-built binaries• Share source & binaries within IC
– Professional T&M support– No cost, no hassle, no strings
• Low-cost commercial product for projects– Subscriptions starts at $1,000 per developer (U.S.)– Adds tools, advanced functionality, platforms, transports– Warranty & bounded support costs– No royalties or deployment fees

What’s Important in a Model?
• Generate low-friction viral adoption– Free use for early projects– No legal & operational red tape
• Support healthy vendors– Limit unfettered competition from services companies that don’t drive the product.
(And may be foreign, undesired.)– For those who can pay, provide good reason to pay
• Encourage speculative vendor investment– Build product the broad market needs– Invest in features, accessibility, usability, quality
• Retain IP control– No forced copyleft of customer code– Encourage some mechanism to ensure code provenance
• Drive efficiency and low cost– Encourage single code base and stable team– Stop the “free puppy” syndrome; no local branches
