I want to start a support company for Quicken. But of course I don't have the right to do that, nor do I have the source code to be able to do it well. So please, OSS community, put out an open source version of quicken and give it away so I can have my support company. It would be nice if you commented the code in Hindi, because I plan to off shore the company right from the start.

Plea to OSS Comunity...

I would like to start a support company for Quicken. Unfortunately, I don't have the right to do so, nor do I have the source code to be able to do it well. So, Please OSS community, create a version of Quicken with a silly name and give it away for free. It would also be helpful if you commented your code in Hindi, as I plan to off shore the company right away.
Thanks! (-:

Money from open source
by ecacofonix July 7, 2006 12:40 PM PDT
For GlueCode, I suspect the main money is going to come from maintenance and support of OS products...I really doubt that charging for enhancements will survive as a business model in the long run
