Look at how Ghost does it.

  • Non-profit organization
  • Developed in the open on github
  • MIT license, none of that AGPL darkness
  • Download and host your own instance for free
  • Funding
    • Seed funding via Kickstarter
    • SaaS product (customers pay for Ops)
    • Support (customers pay for specific levels of Support)

The SaaS offering varies by level of support more than features. But I listed Support separately because the Enterprise offering seems to mainly be about paying for support.
