At the OSBC last week I ran into Jason Hibbets (one of the editors here) and I suggested that he contact you for a story. Proactive as ever, you beat me to it.

I can't think of a better example of applying open source ideals to life as with your project. Thank you for sharing.

Oh yes, most certainly. When talking about open source I often use the line from The Matrix that there is a difference "between knowing the path and walking the path". Having walked the path, I have no doubt that, in time, all software will either be open source or have a large open source component.

The biggest threats to open source business will be artificial ones. Things like ACTA and overly broad software patents, coupled with some sort of "metered" internet, could spell the end to businesses such as mine.
