You know what . I do not under the oil industry and hence I do not invest in it. Similarly shareholders who do not under the business models in open source should rely on mutual funds or invest somewhere else. open source is just a different model of making money and specifically a very good model for Market Capture. http://www.gandalf-lab.com/blog/2007/04/does-open-source-make-ecomonic-sense.html

Its an ecosystem as you point out generates squillions of bucks and keeps a lot of my favourite people in beer and burgers. I would not make the distinction so hard and fast though between paid/unpaid. poster child for the new expensive open source is Alfresco. download free! but if you want paid support its 10k per CPU. also note how much shared source MS does. that is, the distinction is not between oss and paidware. i frigging hope Microsoft stays in business Hugh, and of course it will.

I'm just saying, if it's such a good deal, how does paidware [e.g. like my brand new client, Microsoft] stay in business? Enquiring minds want to know...
