  • I have read and reviewed the documentation changes to the best of my ability.
  • If the change is significant, I have run the documentation site locally and confirmed it renders as expected.

Summary of changes

This PR adds a new documentation page called "OpenHands Commercial Open Source Strategy" that covers:

  • Vision: OpenHands as the open standard for AI coding agents
  • Problems We Solve: "Building With" (inner loop AI coding agent) and "Building On" (repetitive engineering tasks)
  • Example Use Cases: Maintenance, Modernization, Migration, Tech Debt, and more
  • Target Customers: OSS vs Commercial audiences
  • Dividing Lines Between OSS and Commercial: Open Core model explanation
  • Strategic Challenges: Portfolio management, community contributions, market differentiation
  • Unique Differentiators: Open source foundation, model-agnostic, cloud-first scalability
  • Strategic Roadmap Pillars: Cloud agents, "Build On" focus, model-agnostic approach
  • Commitment to Open Source: Governance, metrics, and long-term commitment

The page has been added to the navigation under Overview > Overview as the last item in the list (after "Contributing").

Thank you, I liked a lot Robert's latest cloud blog post, a docs page based on it would be really good to have!

Sorry, I haven't got to go through all, I would appreciate to discuss a bit some nits on wording - such as contrasting "OSS" with "commercial" - I'll follow up
