And this is open source? I mean open source not in the sense that you'll provide the customer with source code once he buys it, but in the sense that its been created by a variety of people for free (like Linux).

If its actually open source in the Linux sense, how do you guys make any money?

We sell the specialized hardware it runs on. We support it. We write it. We provide closed-source applications (the real heart of it) that run on the open OS.
