My company makes plenty open source software for industrial control and we are doing fine. Of course we sell the rest of the industrial sensing and control system also. Open source helps us make the sale because it helps convince the customer that the product can be supported many years down the line. Most industrial systems have lifetimes in excess of ten years, so support and maintenance are serious issues - maybe THE ISSUE. Hence the growth of open source in this sector.
