Will do Luis, thanks.
I wasn't sure if it was you before Luis, good to see you again. Yes, your experience will be invaluable when we get to the harder questions.
I wasn't a big fan of oss either but there comes a time when even what you do have might be quite valuable but it's not worth much if you can only sell a few copies.
I see more possibilities for making possible income in the services (SaaS) side of the software and when you give it away you have a much larger potential customer base to work for than what you have if you sold your software.
Another benefit of the oss business model, if the project builds up some momentum it will have a chance to grow a lot quicker, fix bugs quicker and have much better code which benefits all.
Unless you have a show stopping application it is very hard to make money in software using the closed source business model, if I can pick up a bit of work coding and be paid for it I'll be more than happy.
But, that isn't my main objective, what is though is getting some software up to a usable, solid state so user can get their work done easier and better, every thing else is just a bonus
