Open Source: consumer vs creator (more thoughts)

I had some more thoughts on my earlier entry regarding those who make it their business to sell products that solve common business problems. There's plenty of examples from operatoring systems to specific industry solutions.

These do range from consumer (as in retail) to business and as such have different market stratgeies and such. I was wondering if it would depend what market you were in to how your open source strategy would be implemented.

If you solve a common problem, should you open source it, sell it or shelf it?
