Wrong - Vite is not open core, Vite+ is. This differentiation is important because even if a feature benefits Vite+, if it needs to be shipped via Vite then it has to be open source.

Companies willing to pay for Vite+ help sustain and improve the open source parts powering it, including Vite. Even if you only use Vite and not Vite+, you’d benefit from the success of Vite+, not the other way around.

I don’t really find anything inherently wrong with your definition of “rugpull”. If some people in the community are happy to pay for it and the rest also benefit because of it, that’s a win-win in my book.

The line between Vite and Vite+ exists mostly inside your head. From the outside, Vite is the open core and some set of features are only in Vite+.

Best of luck with your commercial project. History has not been kind to open core projects.

it is upto vite team to decide between "open source" or "open core". from my perspective, there is no data to say otherwise, so your "from outside" translates to "In my opinion, but I take no responsibilty for it"

You don't need to be arguing with users here, you have a business and ecosystem to support and people to pay. Decisions need to be taken in order to achieve that, I appreciate all of your work Evan and I genuinely wish you goodluck.
