| source is anti-capitalist. He said the community tends toward the
| libertarian. "Part of the reason my company went toward open source
| is that we were spending so much time and money chasing clients on
| copyright issues. We got a better rate for our time just offering a
| consultinig service and releasing the software for free."

JasperSoft: from Proprietary to Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Looking back over our history, I think there was one major shift, which
| was two-and-half years ago when we made the shift from proprietary
| to the open source model. That was the one thing we hadn't planned
| on five years ago, but most people then didn't really think about
| open source as being a viable business model.
|
| Since we've made the shift things have been going really well.
