Well...  There are many companies which make their money by supporting
open source products.  Red Hat is perhaps the most prominent, but
there are lots of smaller ones.

As long as the source code remains free, I do not see a problem.

That said, I am not sure Unattended has enough users to make paid
support a profitable option.  On the other hand, the source code is
available to everyone, so really anybody could offer paid support on a
"consulting" basis.

Ryan, could you be more specific about what you are looking for in
terms of support?  Specifically, what kind of a contract do you think
your company is looking for?
