Hi William,
I totally get that, I made software for a living as well.
I might be interested in paying for it later on, but for now I really just want to get the feel of Gluu, make it work properly and see if we can use Gluu as our main authentication system for everything.
(Right now testing for staff, after that for clients, and then maybe even on consumer level).
As we're building multiple services for the public and we would love to just have one central login system.
If this is something we can really do as easily as we think we can (when we get the hang of it). Then we've solved a major problem.
PS:
The only reason why I don't like oxd is because I was searching all over the internet for a nice IDP that was self hosted, free and compatible with a lot of things. Then I found Gluu after a while, thought it was amazing and then it pushed oxd through my throat.
Other than that, I'm willing to pay for it, but only later on when I have everything done and we can see that our customers actually like/use it.
