The Success of Commercial Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Another great thing about OSS is that even if the company pulls support for
| the product (I’m talking to you, Microsoft Response Point) or goes out of
| business, there is an opportunity for your company (or consultants of your
| choosing) to continue making repairs and even advancing the tool despite lack
| of support from a vendor.

Opensville meets the real world
,----[ Quote ]
| For IT, open source is a way to improve service and reduce costs without the
| expense. The lower acquisition costs, fast development cycle, continuing
| enhancements and quick fixes to problems make open source attractive. In
| fact, a leading industry analyst predicts that within a few years about 80%
| of all commercial software will include elements of open source technology.
