If I own a software company, how do I make money if my software is OSS and anyone can compile the code and sell copies of the same without I getting any share of it? Is too much freedom dangerous?
The standard answer you will get from FSF/GNU people is - "You provide services around your software". :-) I know this is not the complete or only answer! At the same time we have many example of FOSS Companies who write free software and still make money. :-) There are closed source software companies who write software and make far larger amount of money. :-D The question is about priorities, objectives and goals. Different people and organisations have different priorities, objectives and goals. When you as developer / business / student want make a choice, you have to find your own answer. There is no single and simple answer to the above question. :-(
