A comment on Ask HN: I have three good ideas. Help me choose idea 1, 2, or 3.. Parent comment
* Enterprises will pay money for open source products. In fact, it's easier for them to pay for open source than to deploy it for free.
* IT people will bring open source stuff in house to play with it, which makes them your shadow sales force.
* It's really easy to qualify accounts for sales; just have an inside sales guy call up and ask if they use your OSS project and like it.
