Open Source: The Wave of the Future
,----[ Quote ]
| Question: Do you see the trend continuing, or is it only short term?
|
| Dalle: We think that this is a long-lasting trend that has been enabled
| by the Internet as a platform, which has facilitated collaboration and
| sharing of code. That really has been the driving factor of the open
| source movement. It was out there for awhile, but the Internet as a
| collaboration platform has really allowed this business model to
| explode. Obviously, software is an evolution. ... It will continue
| to make leaps and bounds, but going forward, to a large extent, if
| it's addressing big enough markets, open source will be the
| development and distribution approach.
