And where will the entrepreneur get the funds? Many do it by being employed first then doing their company on the side. > A lot of capable programmers are just that, programmers.

How will the lone programmer set up his company and hire other programmers? They could be a "Micro ISV" of one person, but these types typically have to sell proprietary software to make it. An open source business of selling support needs more manpower and makes less money per person than a proprietary software business. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
