Yes, you have a good point when we refer to open src sw like FF.

But I was amused (in a cynical sense) to think that those who banked on their creativity to earn a living, have a lot of other aspects to learn as well :)

This article made me think on a higher abstract level of importance of marketing and sales strategy! Very very interesting!

Amen to that. I've seen many techies look at this aspect with disdain. It's very hard work actually.
