True generosity
When you do something for someone without waiting for anything back.
OpenSource Communities of developpers, for example, are giving a lot of their time and knowledge to improve capacities of packages and computers. They try to help poor countries giving us computers with GNU/Linux. Wikipedia is an other good example of true generosity.
Exchange generosity
When you do something for someone and receive something back.
For example, when you put a link for someone on your webpage, you aren't sure there will be a link about you on his too but it's possible.
Generosity as a business model
When it's not someone but a company who give something without waiting for anything back.
I think it's the business model of a lot of web companies. They give us services (Twitter, Facebook and so more), ideas, knowledge (podcasts...) but their business model only depend on publicity. Deezer, for example, stands on this idea of generosity as a business model : everyone can heard music but can't theft it. They have conclude agreements with majors of industry music.
