Do Companies That Create Free, Open Source Software Make Any Money If so How?

Do companies that create free, open source software make any money If so how?

Well , I can think of four basic ways by which these companies can make money:1. Most of the people (whom I know) involved in an open source project have a side job. They use some of the money from that job in case they want something done. 2. There is ALWAYS crowd funding. There are a LOT of people who support the free and open source software thing , and hence have a soft corner for such causes.3. The companies develop a base version of the FOSS project, and then develop and sell commercial add-ons for it.4.And then, there's always marketing. Now , if you want your software to be free and open source , but also want some money for you next project ,you can sell it to a company for some bucks ,and then they will make it available to all the other people for free.

How do i know if my old albums are worth money as collectibles?

The sleeve must be in very, very good condition and the record must no be scratched at all. The only way they will be worth any money is if they are rare in some way. For example, there is a beetles album that originall came out with an album cover that showed the men covered in decapitated dolls and blood. It was only on sale for one day, then the company took them all back and pasted a new cover over the grotesque one. If you had that original cover, it might be worth something. However, most records were sold in mass numbers and will be worth nothing more than a dollar or two.
