  LimeWire: Open source brings commercial success (NewsForge)
  [Posted July 11, 2005 by corbet]

  NewsForge looks at the business behind LimeWire, an open source Gnutella client. ""On the development side, LimeWire LLC engages open source developers by paying bounties for features. Small bounties, listed as being 'good for beginners,' pay $50; medium bounties, 'good for learning the intricacies of the code,' pay $200; and large bounties, for projects that are 'difficult, but very useful,' pay $500.""
