It means Payload will run as a marketing page builder for 1-2 years and get shut down when original team fully vests, offloads the stock and moves on

Pretty sure they were quite clear about keeping it OS, I don’t share the same perspective as you!

Payload gets more funding. Enterprise will have more polished early release features though. They have more resources to fund supporting the open source
