Killer open source monitoring tools (InfoWorld)

Is open source killing developers’ ability to cash in?
,----[ Quote ]
| Look at what Codeweavers has done. They played off of the Linux community’
| need for games and for Microsoft Office. To that end they create a software
| that will allow Linux users to enjoy the two things they wanted the most:
| Games and Office. They had them. And now Crossover Games supports over 5,000
| titles. But Codeweavers is one-upping everyone. They have a program in place
| where users can get free copies of their software in return for spreading the
| word, monitoring forums, and helping to make their code better. Not only does
| this fill the users’ need for software, it fills the business need for bug
| testing and PR. Smart move.

| How true is that. But money is being made with Open Source. Some make
| spectacular money by exploiting Open Source (Google, Apple) and some things
| wouldn't even exist without it (Internet, Software as a Service, Cloud
| Computing) - so it really boils down to finding the right business model.
