Making Money from Free Software Panel 11/14/07 in Menlo Park

November 1, 2007 10:18 PM PDT Follow @dr138

I am on a breakfast panel on November 14 down in Mountain View at the Orrick offices down in Menlo Park. Being that I get back from Japan the day before with the requisite jetlag I should be in rare form.

Here are just a few of the exciting topics:

What does "commercial open source" mean and how is it different from "open source"?
What benefits can I expect from releasing my product as open source? What are the costs?
Does my choice of open source license matter?
What do VCs think of the open source model?
Does an open source company have better exit potential?

Moderator: Jim Black, Partner, Orrick

Panelists include:
Bob Walters, President & CEO, Untangle
Andrew Aitken, Managing Partner, Olliance Group
Dave Rosenberg, CEO & Co-Founder, MuleSource
Philippe Cases, Venture Partner, Partech International
