Hi,
Has anybody in this list or people you know - have made money by creating
open source products? I am not talking about people who earn money by
providing services around someone else's effort of creating the primary,
core product (say the LAMP stack). I am talking about people who are
creative and made stuff from scratch.
Two examples that come to mind straight away:
HasGeek:

Fusion Charts:

Different personalities, and different motivations for opening up the
source, but both are worth a look.
