I'm creating a large video game on SourcForge. I was going to make it a 
shareware company; but I don't have that much money; plus I like Open 
Source. The ethics and the community. I e-mailed GNU how much money was 
into it a few years back; but I didn't get a reply. I'm thinking there 
may be money in Open Source. Money is a secondary concern; but is there 
any money in doing an Open Source game. And how would I make money off 
of Open Source. Especially a video game. I would like to stick in Open 
Source if all possible; but I would like to form a corperation around my 
video game eventually. I have a few people involved; so I must know if 
there is any money involved in Open Source; and how any suggestions on 
how I would make money from it?
