This article seems pretty devoid of basic microeconomics? All of this is pretty simple. Unless you go non-profit (which is probably a better move for a lot of these things) you have to stare directly in the face of the following: What are we willing to tell the people -- you can't have X unless you pay for it. in the long run, you can only get paid for what has a marginal cost; which usually ain't code OR data; so then it's "labor." That's support, maintenance, customization, someone you can call to get help, etc.
