I found this resource<http://www.pcworld.com/article/209891/10_reasons_open_source_is_good_for_business.html> that gives a nice list of benefits of going Open Source which is great! But I'm also a little concerned about monetization. I'm a student and I've spent a lot of time with this project, I also think of value for the time I've put in. (But yes now I'm seriously staring at Open Source in the face! :) )
