Dear Satyakaam,

Reliance mobile is very costly. Will you not suggest me any nokia or motorola mobile 
to net access under Linux OS.  I want to take a post paid connection of Spice, Airtel. 
 I can not afford reliance mobile. you mean that I have to purchase a serial port to 
connect the mobile with Linux os PC. I am confused about the cable.  One cable is with 
USB & Serial or I have to purchase two cables.

Since my company offers a product with a GPL/MySQL type dual licensing too,
I can explain the rationale quite easily :

If you are using our product to help others and not making any money off it,
you are welcome to use it under GPL without paying us anything. OTOH, if you
are making lots of money from something based on *our* hardwork, we want to
get paid for our hard work too.

We are after all a company. And most(if not all) companies operate on a
profit model of some sorts, since the deveopers working for them expect to
be paid. Think of it like this. A lot of opensource developers work on their
project just part-time since some of them do need the cash from a job or
business, to feed the mouths at home. In the other scenerion, the company is
giving them an opportunity to work on the opensource project fulltime, since
now they are getting a salary. Don't you think the opensource projects will
benefit, if the opensource developers gave 100% of their working time to
their project instead of supporting it just on their free time ?

The intention is to make money from people who can afford to part with it.
If you want to use a product for your personal use, GPL doesnt stops you. If
on the other hand, you are planning to mint money through mass-distribution
by using someone *else*'s work(even if it is in part), only fair that they
get their share too.

Who benefits financially? The opensource developer *does* gets paid a salary
or at least gets a financial contract. Does he gets paid a fair salary ?
That is a different question altogether and depends on the company ethics.

Cathedral and the Bazaar addressed a few ways of making money from the
opensource model. This is just another one.

Unless ofcourse, you have a psychological aversion to the idea of making
cash, in which case you are welcome to send your paycheck/bank balance to me
coming month.. ;)

Regards,
Abhi

Hello Mr. Mathur,
   I just had a question; I have heard that a normal
Linux user can make changes (by some means) into the files of another
normal Linux user. Is it possible??
Please guide me towards some of the good books for securing Linux boxes.
I am still waiting for my photograph dear :o)

My intention is to understand the business model
behind companies like MySQL and JBoss (and trolltech,
Codeweavers, transgaming) a little bit better. Any
comments/clarifications? 
IMHO,
1. The standard wider developer base - Opening up a product like this 
makes thousands of skilled programmers looking at it and making it more 
robust. In a simple business logic, you require only a few highly 
skilled people (like trolltech does) to maintain such an extensive 
cross-platform commercial toolkit. Of course, to start with, your 
product should be good enough for these thousands on (unpaid) skilled 
programmers looking at it and making it more robust. Because of this 
kind of licensing, projects like KDE have sprung up - can you think of a 
better commercial development model? Here is a commercial project, which 
if close sourced would require 10x more people to maintain. And think 
about the kind of test bed that QT has today, spread over n number of 
OSes! As far as I remember, QT started out in a very raw shape - over 
time it has become so much more complete in all ways, simply because of 
this helpful community around it.

2. The dual licensing is a very tempting way to induce people into 
buying licenses. Your in-house developers can take a close look at the 
API, the visual IDE. Both the developers and the management can take a 
look at the available software and see what is possible.

It is just another model of doing business. There is no one way of 
making money. Some people simply are not comfortable enough thinking how 
their licences might be violated in such an arrangement - maybe the 
likes of M$ might be a good example - they simply dont want to leave any 
stone unturned in how to make money out of every possible opportunity.

On the other end, people like Trolltech are more permissive - they know 
fully well that there will be the occasional person abusing the freedom 
that they have got. However, they rather concentrate on the good people 
- and how to increase their ilk as part of their business. And they 
believe (like I do), that there are enough good people in this world to 
make a living out of, ... and more importantly they are satisfied with that.

I think even MySQL comes with this type of license. It
is (to me) difficult to understand the thinking behind
this scheme.

 Any one can make it clear whether Qt is under GPl or

It is under both - a dual licence. You can use it even for commercial 
products as long as the end product is open source and under GPL. 
However, if your company doesnt want to give the source code to its 
customers or otherwise wants to place the end product under more 
restrictions than GPL, you have to buy the (expensive) licence.
