@stilkov does itemis count?

@markusvoelter What @stilkov is probably looking for is a business model where an OSS product generates almost all revenue.

@ewolff @markusvoelter If itemis made the majority of its business from Xtext and closely related services, that would count for me

@stilkov @ewolff there is a lot of revenue generated directly or indirectly from the OSS.

@markusvoelter @ewolff Probably just a matter of percentages then. My guess is a company like EclipseSource qualifies, too.
