Hi Kristina - I work at 10gen (company that develops & supports MongoDB). I'd be happy to chat with you sometime and give you some ideas/feedback. In the interim you may want to check out this article about JBoss. It's the best overview of the open source biz model I've read: http://www.forentrepreneurs.com/sales-marketing-machine/jboss-example/
Good luck!
