Giving It Away

I’ve been an advocate of open source for a number of years now, and the number one ‘objection’ I encounter is “but you can’t make money out of open source”. Well, who say’s so?

I’ve been giving away my books ever since my first novel came out, and boy has it ever made me a bunch of money.

Cory Doctorow is certainly a shining example of how giving it away CAN reap huge rewards, both financial and otherwise. Cory tallked a little bit about this when he visited Melbourne recently. You can see my wrap up if you missed it.
