This matters most when you plan to sell a hosted version. A permissive licence means anyone — including a competitor with more capital — can do the same, so your defensibility has to come from distribution, support or data, not from the code.
Canvas LMS is not currently shipping at a healthy pace. Popular but stalled projects inflate how competitive a category looks — and they are also risky to build on.
The clearest opening in the dataset. Low open-source competition usually means either a genuinely underserved need or a market too small to attract volunteers — validate demand before assuming the former.
