[News] The $2 Billion Investment in Mainstream Free Open Source Software

Why do vendors invest in open source?

,----[ Quote ]
| The Harvard Business School has published the preliminary draft
| an interesting report that confirms one thing we probably could
| have guessed - that vendors invest in open source for economic,
| rather than altruistic, reasons - and calculates a number of
| things we probably couldn't - such as the fact that vendors
| invested $2bn in open source software between 1995 and 2005.
