Re: New batch of CEOs climbs into open-source saddle Quotation from article: "There's an opportunity to be successful on a Grateful Dead model," he said. "The Dead made money and let people record their music." MandrakeSoft sells training, professional services and support, Poole said. There's a big problem with Poole's analogy here. Namely, there is only one instance of the Grateful Dead. They can't be cloned. The problem with Linux as a money-making business is that because it's "open source," it can be copied. The question your raised ("where's the intellectual property?") is the right question.
