Control is the real open source advantage
,----[ Quote ]
| When you are running open source you control your own code. You also
| control the code budget. When you are using a proprietary solution --
| no matter how good the solution -- the vendor controls your code. They
| decide what you will pay, and when.

| For big vendors, then, the genie is out of the bottle. Control of software
| has shifted to the customer. They can either adapt to this reality, move
| down-market to enterprises that would rather not control their software, or
| they can die like newspapers are dieing.
