All of them? Well, okay, I guess if you just want to count the ones that are making a profit and not the failed attempts like Daniels...

The open-source community provides free development and free support. High barriers to overcome for a for-profit operation.

Pays me no nevermind. I made my money in the for-profit world and the open-source community. Now I just enjoy watching the tech titans (and the little fools like Daniel) try to fight back the inevitable. Good times all around!

Well, you did ask me this:

Of the tons of for-profit software you mentioned, what percentage of them would you estimate actually made a profit?

So that does limit the field a bit.
