One model that has been very successful for some Open Source  
developers is providing the software for free, but charging premium  
hourly prices for support, configuration, consulting, etc.

I'm pretty sure, in numerous cases, this has resulted in far more  
revenue than charging for the software, and this is a trend that I  
believe will increase in the future.
