The commonly understood FOSS business model : You write software and release under FOSS licence. Charge customers for distribution costs, Consulting, Training and Support. FOSS Yellow Pages service you are building simply uses a commercial business model where you create a network of buyers and sellers. Then you try to monetise the traffic (eyeballs). You are using FOSS users / companies as the traffic.
