You repeatedly say that "how does open source company make money
without doing it". Let me ask you this question, how does Ubuntu make
money giving Ubuntu Linux away? How does PostgreSQL make money giving
postgreSQL away. Yes, they sell support contracts just like XenSource
does, which I highly support the model. What I don't think is right
is when Xen Source releases "Express editions" with capabilities
castrated. Last I checked, 4GB of memory limit, and 4 VM limit. (as a
developer, sometimes I need close to 8-10VMs running all at once, so I
use VMware now) Do you see PostgreSQL do that? do you see Ubuntu do
that?
I'm making a living at it, partly with Xen right now, because it's
cheaper for the company to pay my salary than to buy VMWare licenses or
lots of extra hardware.
