"mcdonalds doesn't sell burgers, they sell real-estate..."
maybe dotgnu revenue can come from the licencing of an "official support
network", where a percentage of revenues from commercial support around

it is one of many possibilities, one advantage being that a unified

like to feel like they are getting the support from the right people.
