It does mean that everyone who is involved in a webinar needs to install Skype – but that seems to be a minor issue, to my mind. .&# But interestingly, Yugma is now integrated with Skype, which totally changes the whole audio on a separate channel issue. But, you can’t use the Skype edition on Linux yet, either.

Xen comes to mind. I think we’re pretty close to the model of Intel or Red Hat’s contribution to the Linux kernel: Zmanda pays folks (like me!) to develop open source software. You could add a few more OSS apps to your list. Zend seems to have done a pretty good job maintaining PHP while also doing business.
