That would be really interesting to know.

The effects of the different licensing models fascinates me, and
having a knowledge about what the numbers looked like over time,
based on the different licensing models would speak volumes.

I'd be curious.
It seems to me that that strategy would see use go up, then some time
later commercial licensing would pick up, as the barrier to entry came
down, and user bases were established which required support, which in
turn enabled commercial licenses.

Hi,
Is there an interest on this list in learning about the business
implications of going LGPL using the Trolltech example?
Trolltech's acquisition by Nokia allowed it to add the LGPL license
option and then continue conducting business for the next 3 years. If
you look at the aggregate business over that time it seems a useful
question to ask what happened - Did the initial dramatic license
revenue drop turn into growth later because of broader use?
Is this a topic people would be interested in and find useful?
