Are there any benefits of offering php software developers free php open source software? how can a business profit from this?
You're asking how a business benefits from not having to pay for hundreds/thousands of dollars in licensing fees?

No, I think he's asking how a business can profit by providing open-source software. I know that Red Hat Linex maked their money on technical support and customizations. Similar with MySQL.
