If I own a software company, how do I make money if my software is OSS and anyone can compile the code and sell copies of the same without I getting any share of it? Is too much freedom dangerous?
There are FOSS companies which make money by: 1) Writing custom features/plugins around their products. 2) Providing support around their products. 3) Charging money for documentation 4) Dual licensing source code for commercial use
There is more than one FOSS company which falls into one or more of these categories.
