Open-source software doesn’t have to be free. The two go hand-in-hand very well, but open-source licensing like the GPL only stipulates that the source code be made available at no additional cost not that the software can’t be sold commercially.
For free open-source software, covering their expenses happens in a number of ways. You can buy copies of various Linux distributions, usually for premade disks and possibly a printed manual, pay for support, or contribute in the form of a donation. Sometimes the developers themselves will pay for operation costs out of their own pockets.
Most people contributing to free open-source projects do so simply because they like doing it.

I’m talking about good applications or web-based software like CMSs – how do they make money if the item is free or open source… How do they stop people ripping them off or taking the project in the wrong direction? what license should I get to make the most out of something I hope to write?
