+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Simple answer: Mask Rights.
+ \item Without Mask Rights: by having a desirable
+ product, and packaging it for a customer (i.e. by being a middle-man
+ a service is still being provided for which payment etc. etc.)
+ \item Without a desirable product or customer(s): err... you don't.\\
+ (cf: definition of Business)
+ \item By not having high NREs (leveraging back-to-back deals,
+ and helping others fulfil their needs)
+ \end{itemize}
+ {\it Detachment from the goal also helps. If someone else makes this
+ product then GREAT! I can go do something else}

+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Customer entrapment (through proprietary software).\\
+ Strong business case for not entrapping customers:\\

+ \item Funding, endorsing, empowering or otherwise supporting
+ unethical Companies, Organisations and Individuals.\\
+ (cf: definition of an ethical act).
+ \item Being totally inflexible / unrealistic. Goals have
+ to be met: it's no good being an idiot about that. If
+ a Libre 3D GPU really can't be made, use Vivante GC800
+ (with etnaviv).
+ \end{itemize}
+ {\it Still no real show-stoppers to making money (or product):
+ it's just slightly harder, that's all. Ultimately it's about
+ confidence. }
