Comment When I was in Switzerland (Score 1) 399
There were a number of students that were interested in using an open-source business model. Yet they even lacked an idea for a project at that point. Nonetheless, they were in the Open Source Software Engineering course hacking away at various sourceforge projects along with everyone else. None of the Americans particularly cared when business model was used as long as it was viable. The Swiss seemed to have some sort of conception that open source was at higher level morally - which I still don't understand. So, yes, I did see an inclanation in Europe toward open-source regardless whether or not such a model would apply to them.
