Jack,

What you are talking about would appear to be what Matt Asay described http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10394478-16.html as open source providing a platform for monetization. This is actually covered in the explanation of this slide, but it not explicit within it. Largely though what I am talking about strategies for using open source – as Matt put it – to generate cash. I would see cost control using open source as a prerequisite of any business strategy that uses open source to generate cash.

Odd, that you should work so hard at so grand a plan, and yet utterly ignore the most successful and wide-spread OSS business strategy: removal of barriers in the infrastructure.

Maybe “cost controls” aren’t sexy enough to talk about?
