I don't think software licensing will go away, at least not for enterprise software. Consumers enterprise software would rarely choose a platform just because it is free. So how to make money with OSS? Hire OSS coders to make you products. How about making products or "Solutions" with OSS components, and in so doing make better products, faster. License the end product to customers in the traditional sense. The contributers to the OSS have their pick of employment opportunies or contracts or start up postions. And the customers get better products cheaper, and in general they could care less whether the source is open or not. They just want it to work
