it could feed you - it feeds me
Good for you. I dont want it to feed me. I work on/with linux because
i like to, not for money
postgres is not a business model afaik
Neednt be. That doesnt answer the question!
not all - they have a foss business model also, which is growing
Are they going to pin on it? They will sell, for sure. Will they sell
only that? If I had a hardware industry that was bringing me millions,
I will not mind setting up a division for the cause of opensource, and
maybe not sell too.
you can - but no big company needing mission critical support is
going to depend on lug support.
You said it. No big investor will yet depend on it. Because, there is
no model in sight. ROI is not defined very well.
if a proven model is there, where is the need for questioning? You
cannot make money in business without innovating and taking risks.
+1 again. If I innovate and make business out of it, Id want to see
some money atleast for sometime. The only way I can do that is trying
to monopolise it. It is as simple as this.
The only people who make money in business are people who do *one*
particular thing better than anyone else.
Then why do they have competition at all? Oracle sells database, so
does microsoft and so does IBM and MySQL. And still not all users have
all the databases. Well, I certainly dont want to pull this any
longer. It benefits none and is flooding the inbox for so many others.
