enterpreneurship. What are the prerequsities to be satisfied before

enterpreneur based on open source. Or to simply put up
Looks like your current model is..
1. Open Source
2. ???
3. Profit!
If you look at today's FOSS-world there's something called Open Source
2.0 happening. OpenSource 1.0 was companies like MySQL AB, RedHat.
OpenSource 2.0 is BlackDuck,CollabNet, SpikeSource, ActiveGrid and
Ubuntu. OpenSource 1.0 was all about creating Open Source products and
dual licensing it. Have one free version and have one with paid
support. The thing about Open Source 2.0 is you are now seeing
companies which are managing to re-package Open-Source and make it
enterprise ready. Choose which model you want to follow.
