Judging by how many Malaysian IT companies have made it to the international stage, looks like many people don't understand how to generate money from proprietary software either :) Don't think the problem is with how to generating money with FOSS. I think the problem is a lack of plain good old entrepreneurship and long term focus. There are no quick paths to riches in the world: to use MySQL as an example again, they started in 1983. Most companies (with a few exceptions) take a long time to be successful - why should software companies be any different?
