Is nova profitable?

I have been studying tools like Nova, tinkerwell and their licencing. I am myself working on a tool targeted for Laravel and Symfony app, and exploring the licencing model.

I am thinking of licencing the tool as these apps do. But I am not quite sure, if thats the right way to go.

Anyone experienced in different business models for these kind of tool? Why is nova not opensource? Are there any opensource tools in laravel ecosystem that have sustained a business?

I would love to hear the business aspect of the tools by the creators of nova and tinkerwell, or point me to the direction where I can get more info. submitted by /u/broncha
