A significant part of the 'open source' is the concept of "open a
restaurant but give away the menu". In effect, the availability of the
source code of the product enables two distinct streams of revenue -
feature driven and support/services driven. And, in either case you
are helping to increase the share of the product.
Increase share of the product meaning?
I am talking from a business perspective. It is one thing to
feel exhilarated when hundreds of thousands of people use your app. But
does this realize into making money?
