Rules for running a Free Software/Open source business

Rough principles and rules for running a Free Software/Open Source business.

A few snaps

- The Employee works in distributed company and may work from anywhere.


- When employee is leaving he can buy out any Company equipment bought
under the hardware allowance. The price is
min(market-price, ‘initial-price’ * max(5 – years_old,0)/5)
(Ie, the price of the equipment is reduced by 1/5 each year)

- The salary should be competitive in the area where the employee is
located. The bonus plan is not depending on where employee is living.

I know only one single person from India who is working on Open Source Business model. (Ram from Veda Technology, Ameerpet Hyderabad. No, AFAIK He does not have a blog or online presence)

Reading all this felt like, in India people are more like hamsters powering the business silos.

  4. I will not concur on it. I regard as warm-hearted post. Especially the title-deed attracted me to be familiar with the unscathed story.
