Open Source Forming a Dot Com Bubble?

sebFlyte writes "ZDNet is running an interesting look at the sudden upswing of investment in open source products and the ensuing debate as to whether the open source business model has given us a bubble (akin to the dot-com bubble) that is about to burst. The counter-argument is that the increase in investment is just the natural progression of a robust business model whose time has come. One point that few people, whatever their viewpoint, could disagree with is that the key to a financially successful open source project rests with the community, rather than just the technology."

You know what really pisses me off is getting modd'ed down when I try to share some of my business readings and experience, hoping to explain why things happen and maybe helping one of you Open Source Entrepreneurs to make it and create jobs. You see, many of my source DO NOT HAVE FREE LINKS. Such as, www.fsb.com. Here's another source: The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship, 3rd Edition recommended BY A VENTURE CAPITALIST. I do a shit load of reading in this area because of my own business development and dealings with these people...you know what..I'm going to shut the Fuck up and go away.... Bye, Bye.
