Re: [ossig] Business Model



Problem is with OSS, many can just as easily download and make copies and sell. Few Linux packagers are making money unless they move upmarket to corporate computing. Seriously speaking, to really support OSS, perhaps we should buy boxed set once in a while just to support our favourite distro.

Somehow, OSS for the end user seems to be a little hard to drive in.
After all, these end users (the home users) can pick up a pirated copy

that another effort to complement cy lan's shouldnt be discouraged. think
of all this family run businesses which can't afford a 4-way compaq
server, but want the power of linux.
