Does Canonical make a profit? A business model that loses money isn't really all that valid.

And the software that makes Google their money is proprietary, unless you can show me the link to the AdWords server source.

Phusion (makers of Ruby Enterprise Edition and Phusion Passenger) definitely make a profit.

I think they basically just do it through consulting + a little support and training. (See http://phusion.nl/services). But since they wrote Passenger and REE, I'm sure they can command a very high rate.
