And to maximze this you have to create an aura around TechSource
of free software/hardware thinking. GPL'ed RTL might be
the best thing for this.
Though i have no idea how much this aura is worth. Especialy
as i remember the history of Loki Games still very clearly.
They were a OSS company who ported games to linux. Part of
their framework was libsdl and libal which we still use.
Really high valued work over all, but that did not protect
them from going bancrupt. The market for linux games was
just too small at that time. (it might be better now, but
it's already too late)

How do you measure both of them ?
