Comment on Ask HN: How to monetize support of existing free and open-source projects?

Comments

You should check binpress http://www.binpress.com (I'm one of the founders), it is a marketplace for source code. While 50% of the projects are not necessarily open source, the other half are open source projects where the developer also charge for a support license.

Many customers will prefer to purchase a support license in order to ask the developer a question. Some will create a feature suggestion and since they have paid, the developer is more likely to implement them.
