Providers seem to be surviving (or thriving) with this model, free and open source software projects are getting the support they need, and clients are getting the software solutions they need. This is a model that is impossible with proprietary software. It’s a model I hope spreads beyond the CMS space, into other areas.

Sometimes it does matter, both to an organization that might use that vendor, and to the vendor themselves in terms of viability of their business model. Most of the time, for clients, this doesn’t matter. I came across this discussion of Linux distributions and their strengths and weaknesses in terms of vendors who might resell Linux.
