Hello,
here's the link to the standard essay on open-source business models:
http://tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/magic-cauldron
Despite the whimsical title, it's a serious work. The relevant sections would be 9.3, 7.1 and, for some, 9.2. Have a look at 7.2, too, that's a
reason for open source from the client's point of view.
"[O]pen-sourcing Zope could be critical advertising for Digital
Creations's real asset -- its people. He expected that customers
evaluating Zope would consider it more efficient to hire the experts
than to develop in-house Zope expertise."
