Recession and FOSS
,----[ Quote ]
| The key to promote Linux effectively not only lies with Linux enthusiasts but
| also with Open Source vendors who are yet to find out a way in which it can
| be monetized efficiently to expand recognition amongst its probable user
| base.
|
| [...]
|
| An Open Source product or service will be able to get buyers who are bereft
| of major cash inflows and the business operations shall hence continue
| successfully. The best thing that could happen to Linux is its emergence as
| the top alternative to Microsoft. Open Source tools such as PostgreSQL, Ruby,
| Perl, Python, and Ubuntu etc. can be used as a substitute to do most work
| that Microsoft does, of course with a difference in terms of use,
| installation, features and support. This will probably be of tremendous help
| to FOSS in retaining its “free aspect” USP.
