The interesting thing to me are the projects that try and make money after becoming popular. And they're popular because they started as oss.

Think Jenkins. It took off because it was foss. Now the creators are trying to create a way to make money off of it by selling Jenkins-aaS.

They gave away their labor, got popular because they gave it away. Now they're building a business around the free parts. If they had never given it away to begin with, would there have ever been a CloudBees?
