Open source and fossilization
,----[ Quote ]
| One big advantage proprietary companies have over open source vendors
| is sales people. Sales people make their living by hanging out around
| a customer's office, upselling and cross-selling. Open source companies,
| reliant as we are on the product to largely sell itself, don't. While
| many open source customers are, by definition, heavily involved with
| the technology, many aren't. They buy into an open source product
| because it works better than a proprietary dinosaur. They expect a
| more passive relationship with the technology and its vendor.
