chris langreiter points to an interview with sleepycat ceo, michael wilson:
“How to make money with the GPL. How to promote and spread free software. How open source’s experience advantage with developers gives companies a competitive edge. Sleepycat President and CEO Michael Olson shows us what happens when free software meets intelligent business strategy.”
there are some intriguing strategies talked about that seem to be working for sleepycat, although there are some peculiarities to their model which wouldn’t translate well to any ol’ open source project.
