actually the most common model which works is: sell it, free it. That is, someone pays you to write software and you convince that person to release it under a foss/oss license. You sell support, setup distribution etc. Software that is written to 'scratch the itch' is rarely commercially successful. A classic example of sell it free it is Koha. -- regards kg http://livejournal.com/lawgon _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
