Yep - opeb source is all done for free, and you can't expect to earn decent money from an OS project.

Did someone tell Red Hat (free as in beer) this? Not bad revenue for a "free" software provider...

Total revenue for the quarter was $235.6 million, an increase of 21% from the year ago quarter. Subscription revenue for the quarter was $198.8 million, up 21% year-over-year.
Open source software IS NOT free. You may be free to give it away, but it certainly isn't free to develop.
