The article states that "The open-source business model is broken".
This is wrong, because there is no one "open source business model"; there are lots of them. ESR lists 9 in The Magic Cauldron ( http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/magic-cauldron/ http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/magic-cau... )
The article does have a grain of truth in that open source does close off some possibilities for making money from a product.
