@adisonverlice2 IMHO you're confusing apples and pears - that's the polite expression, there are others.
It seems you COMPLETELY underestimate or misunderstand the ongoing work needed to maintain and develop Cloudron, and keep it stable.
Cloudron is not providing some hardware, and some base software or reselling / redistributing a 3rd party software (eg pfSense).
I completely fail to understand why anyone would agree to receive a single payment for the next xx years work they have to do, unless that is 20x the annual price.
I repeat : pay a single fee for perpetual licence for a fixed version of Cloudron ? maybe that might work. Want the benefits of a maintained platform with upgrades, forget it.
I've had enough of this discussion, which is IMHO is just plain silly.
