In fact, in a simple maneer, you cant make a business model on Open Source, and thats totally logic. Open Source is, by definition, free, and a busines model is, by definition, on how to gain money (simplified). Those two things are opposed. But a business model can be based on Open Source like these companies. The things I wan't to clear with you is if you tell that a business model cannot be based on Open Source, you are wrong. If you only mean that Open Source IS NOT a business model, you are right :) Yes, clear. In fact, in a simple maneer, you cant make a business model on Open Source, and thats totally logic.
