This book introduces Open Source initiatives in a different light. Unlike the standard OSS gurus writing about how freedom is not granted etc., this book goes a bit deeper to create a marriage between open source and business. Of course there is nothing like a free lunch. Hence, do not expect yourself to get a complete Open Source based business plan after you read this book. It will give a clearer understanding of the Open Source processes, licenses, motivation factors and how you can use all that to your advantage if you are building a business model around open source software.
A must read if you are looking at using open source as part of your business strategy.
