Yeah, it's not that good. I voted it up just because I think open source business is a fascinating subject and interesting thing to discuss, and if nothing else, the guy was quite involved with it at OSDL.

My take is that 1) open source works very, very well, but that 2) "opens source business" is not really a solved problem, and that the economics of the whole thing are weird and interesting.
