This is the money being made TODAY in Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| The time when open source was all about collaboration and freedom, and money
| was of no interest (and almost a bad word), now seems to be a thing of the
| past. Today it is possible to run a large corporation focused completely on
| open source. Some companies, such as Red Hat, have been doing this
| successfully for years

Neil Gaiman: Piracy vs. Obscurity
,----[ Quote ]
| On Friday, 24th October, I attended an Open Rights Group event where Neil
| Gaiman spoke about the impact of digital “piracy” on authors such as himself.
| His thesis was that the free availability of content from books, even when it
| is contemporaneously for sale in print, is in fact beneficial for the
| creator. This is, he said, because their greatest challenge, in a world
| crowded with writers, is to be “tasted” by potential readers and publishers.
|
| He recounted a few of his own experiences with publishing free content on his
| website, noting that in each instance, the net effect was an increase in his
| book sales.
