MuleSource plans revenue from open, closed source
,----[ Quote ]
| But isn't an open source ESB like Mule largely developed by the open source
| community rather than by MuleSource's development team? "Actually no, it's a
| misnomer that the community will write you a product," says Mason. "They will
| validate what you do, certainly, and may write their own extensions, but you
| need to write the core product and do all of the necessary QA testing and so
| on to make sure it works with other things."

Free software vs open source
,----[ Quote ]
| I heard that the open source software movement grew up when it was
| noticed that people reacted badly to the idealism that the phrase
| "free software" suggests. In an attempt to attract more people to
| free software they decided to move away from the ideas implicit in
| the term "free software" and use their own term "open source" which
| promotes the practical benefits of this style of development.

Facts and Friction on Open Source and Free Software

| As for me, I would argue that in the spirit of those scientific
| ideals, having freedom as a prime goal as FSF does, would be the
| best thing to support. This is exactly what produced the "Open
| Source" method Linus loves so much.
