Profiting from open source -- without selling out

,----[ Quote ]
| Zack Urlocker, a board member and executive 
| for several open source companies, points 
| out the trade-off between the degree of 
| sharing and revenue: "Apache has a great 
| license model that enables the wide 
| adoption of open source software, but there 
| have been few significant businesses -- 
| none approaching even $100 million in 
| revenue -- based on a permissive license 
| model" such as Apache's.

| open source data-crunching platform based 
| on Google's proprietary infrastructure.
