The Craft of Open Source

Vipin Sahu, Webkul

The sky's the limit when it comes to technology, so how much more when you're using open source software? Take that to your business, and you can do anything you want. Vipin Sahu built an open source B2B and B2C online marketplace to help them scale their online business. In this episode, he joins Ben Rometsch to share with us the beginning of his open-source journey and what eventually led him to create Webkul. Vipin also talks about wide-ranging topics about venturing into this business—from licensing to social entrepreneurship and more. He then shares some of his experiences dealing with legal issues and why open source, contrary to its name, is not charity, breaking down some of the misconceptions surrounding it. Join Vipin in this conversation as he takes us deeper into the open source business.
