Found: Another Profitable Open Source Company

[ Thanks to The VAR Guy for this link. ]

"First, a little background. Yes, Red Hat is solidly profitable thanks to growing sales of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss middleware. Rival Novell often generates profitable quarters but the profits are based on Novell’s complete software portfolio; the company’s SUSE Linux business is not yet consistently profitable, The VAR Guy hears.

"Are there any other publicly held, profitable companies built around the open source model?"
