Microsoft does do that already. They do both, so dropping the licensing revenue would strictly be a decrease in revenue. Offering support contracts for open source code is an extremely difficult business model. It happens to be one of the few that actually can work, but the margins are just not great compared to the proprietary software industry. 90% of the kinds of customers who really "should" be paying you simply won't do so if they think they can scrape by without doing so. |
