knapsack[1] and knapsack_pro[2] are both under MIT license and seem to have the same code. How do you keep companies/people from using the pro without paying? 1. https://github.com/ArturT/knapsack 2. https://github.com/KnapsackPro/knapsack_pro-ruby

End-to-end tests tend to take a lot of time when project grows. Some tricks like recording API calls with Puffing Billy can help save some time but still majority time is spend in browser. This problem triggered me to work on knapsack ruby gem to solve problem how to split tests across parallel CI servers and run my whole test suite faster. E2E tests can vary in time execution so I decided to split them in a dynamic way between CI nodes to auto balance tests speed between nodes. Recently someone let me know about fix for puffing-billy gem to work with my knapsack_pro Queue Mode. https://github.com/KnapsackPro/knapsack_pro-ruby#how-to-conf...
