I'm not sure why SaaS would kill FLOSS, in fact I many FLOSS aimed at corporate use are offered as SaaS (ERP, CRM, many groupware, dimdim, etc.). The cloud approach will even strengthen this trend, and the fact that the sofware is free as in freedom makes it easier to integrate and reuse standard components (fencing around each and everyone software has been an innovation killer in this industry). So actually I see SaaS and cloud computing more successful with FLOSS.<br>If your software is already free as in free beer and you own the trademark and you already get revenue from SaaS then open source won't hurt you! You may have upfront work to get it out, and may need to spend some resources on the community, but what's to be lost?
