I've just written my first small paid application and would also like to release the source code publicly on github as a few people have expressed interest.

There's some pros and cons I can see with it:

Cons:

- Potential revenue loss, people wont pay if they can get it for free.

Pros:

- Giving back to community.

- Potential free advertising when technical users use the free code and non-technical users catch wind and pay for not having to be bothered with code.

Anyone do both and can share experiences?

I suspect this is largely dependent on the type of company and the information that they deal with as to how early a company decides to have dedicated security engineers.<p>Can you share your experiences and reasons as to when you decided to hire your first security engineer? How many employees did you have?

This is the initial hire that is responsible for bettering the overall security posture of the company from administration to technical.
