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?
IMO, quality is your USP in this case, if you can provide quality people will be ready to pay it's price. Well those who want the software free of cost will get it by hook or crook (read piracy). These people are out of consideration. So, it won't matter if your software is Open Source or proprietory when it comes to quality people will be ready to buy it. So, Open Source should rather help as the code is open and can be trusted by the customers.
