It explores methodologies and examples such as dual licensing, service models, and the web-based advertising model, highlighting key elements influencing revenue generation.

Editor's Notes
- #2 He does not want to breach the open-source license and is willing to pay for a proprietary license.
- #3 Product must not be simple to use or else users will not need any professional services.
- #4 What this means is that the two companies work closely to insure that their software plays well together.Together, Sun and SAP are going to drive business solutions across the entirety of our SPARC and x86/Opteron platform customers. This is really the final brick in the wall for us with partners - Oracle, Veritas, BEA, CA, EMC, Sybase, Siebel and now SAP. That’s a fantastic list (and there are hundreds of others who’ve also signed on). It takes an ecosystem to raise an OS, and volume to attract partners.
