How Ghost operates
Ghost is a distributed non-profit foundation which gives away all of its intellectual property under a permissive MIT license. The company has no investors and, in fact, no owners of any kind. I don't own any part of Ghost, and neither does my co-founder Hannah.
We currently generate around $7.5M in annual revenue, and have been profitable and sustainable for the past 12 years.
Great write-up from one of the founders of Ghost on how they operate and fund the development of the open source software.
