Will Software Businesses Really Move Toward the Middle in '08?

,----[ Quote ]
| The real challenge continues to be, how can we succeed without closing our 
| source? Only a few companies have managed to do this, with almost all of them 
| being small fries that most people never heard of. But it is possible to do 
| business this way. I would suggest that, eventually, we will see more and 
| more companies discover how to develop software without restricting users' 
| freedom to use, study, modify, and redistribute the programs. Meanwhile, for 
| 2008, You can bet we'll see a lot more businesses learning to respect users' 
| freedom.
