after some research, I find that this is the classic waterfall model
of
software development,
private software development goes this way - you develop something
for
someone.
this goes for open source also. Most successful open source applications
were originally developed for a client who paid for it and then made
open source - examples are django and koha. Known as the 'sell it, free
it' model. In fact someone once said that if you cannot sell it, no one
will take it even if you give it free.
When it comes to creations - you develop something & then reach out
selling subscriptions, then the development practices involved under
such scenarios, also need to get covered.
this very rarely works out. My motto is - if you do not have a client,
do not write software.
