How? He did that by using FOSS i suppose. There is a difference if you
try to sell software to people who can download the source and build
it anyway.

by using FOSS of course, he always make it a point to mention to propective clients i.e. the government agencies about the benefits of using FOSS, he doesn't sell ready made softwares, he builds/develop systems according to clients needs. 

I know someone who did and he never sold any.

he/she needs a good marketing director for this, it's another field of which i'm not good at :D
