With the cost of commodity hardware, per-core style of pricing may not be competitive with only a 2-5x improvement. Unrestricted source licenses to things I would want to license (because they are awesome) are typically an inexpensive one-time cost, usually less than the cost of an engineer to write it poorly. I’ve never seen it structured on a per-core/per-seat basis. It is like forking open source for personal use, occasionally even literally free, except that it is not open source as far as the rest of the world is concerned. As often as not, the “proprietary code” is just code you wrote yourself rather than reusing open source or some other third-party source. It isn’t difficult to justify the effort for systems at scale and the code is reusable going forward.
