I've never found it difficult to compete with something that is free.
What I do, is provide a service instead: updates and desired enhancements to
software for example.
I understand both IBM and Red Hat make gobs of money, basically applying the
same strategy.
The hard part is avoiding the nasty people who use legal trickery, political
bribery, and highly paid lawyers to twist the legal system, so that they can
extort money from other peoples work.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Tell that to the bottled water companies, who literally sell
at high price what you can get for free (some is even bottled
tap water).

Which is probably why Oracle bought MySQL so that they could cause it to wither
away.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
