Uh... My company is cracking a million dollars in revenue this year... Linux, JBoss, MySQL, PostgreSQL... Nope, not a single proprietary vendor invoice here. We also contribute to open source projects, help run a LUG and advocate Open Source / Free Software everywhere we go. Sounds like we are an Open Source company to me.
The problem with business that fail, is simply that they failed. In fact, most businesses fail. Period. People who are successful running a business would be successful if they were doing Open Source related work, as a proprietary software solution provider or running a pest control business. People who can't run a business would fail at running a McDonalds franchise. Has nothing to do with Open Source.
