Hi Ashok, If you haven't already, I highly recommend going through Eric Raymond's landmark paper - "The Cathedral and the Bazaar." http://catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/
The opensource.org site also has some interesting articles on the open source business model. For example, http://www.opensource.org/advocacy/case_for_business.php http://www.opensource.org/advocacy/recommended.php Cheers, Venky.
