"There" a billion dollar company alright. "There" are also many companies that embraced OSS and realized it was profitable as well.

Few and far between. Actually only one that makes any big money: IBM, and they sell services on top of OSS as they did on top of proprietary stuff. Nothing very OSS about them.

On the other side, the road is paved with failed OSS companies that were praised as "really getting it", starting with the archetypal one: VA Linux.

(btw, is my typo that amusing to you? Wait till you find out about cat videos then...)
