Paid extra features or functionalities Some companies make money with open source in this way: they distribute their software for free, but charge money for additional features, functionalities, or updates.
Linux companies like RedHat and Canonical, the company behind the incredibly popular Ubuntu Linux distro, also make much of their money from professional support services as well. If you think about it, software used to be a one-time sale (with some upgrades), but professional services are an ongoing annuity.
May be a silly question, but how do the companies behind jquery or any other freely available open source libraries or frameworks make money. I know the traffic they get and the customer base is priceless, but do they make any money or pay there developers.
