generating $$$ for Open source apps can be easy/somewhat hard/difficult
depending on your model...
if you focus on the kinds of apps that are really written for businesses,
then you can find a number of examples of people who are generating revenues
based on the software. however, in a number of cases, these companies use
the "open source" software as a kind of hook. use the basic software for
free.. but if you need the additional functions/features/support, this will
cost you something $$$. some companies have found this to be a workable
solution...
the basic issue is that you have to have an app/product/service that a
business/customer is willing to pay for...

Well that depends on the answer to the question that open software
advocates have to answer. How do oyu make money on software that you
give away free?
I think this is a critical question that needs a workable answer.
