Business Model[edit | edit source]
It's been a while since the Internet began, and the first companies took the lead, then there was the Internet bubble, and now the landscape is much different than it was in the 90's or even the first decade of the new millenium. More than halfway through the second decade of the 21st century, what can we say about the success of the Free Software movement and about the companies, businesses, political environments, communities or coops that have succeeded in pushing free technology forward while also succeeding in delivering capabilities that at least sustain the ecosystem financially?
As an aside, it's still funny to hear people claim that "Open Source is not a business model" because it never was! Open Source is a development model.
