| Open source has become big business, suggests an article in the Investors
| Business Daily, but it has done so by becoming more like the
| proprietary-software world it purports to leave behind.

Economics behind the Open Source Model
,----[ Quote ]
| Economics is often linked with a rationale of understanding the flow of
| money. This can be considered analogous to amateurs linking open source
| paradigm to free software! Both economics and open source software have a
| wider horizon.

| [...]
|
| The Open Source movement is here to stay for long. It has acted as a serious
| value creator and resulted in revenue generation mechanisms for businesses,
| both - small and big.

Battle for Ant Hill
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software industry is spearheading the concept. Here a 14 year old
| wizkid can have real impact on enterprise grade software. As long as she can
| program quality code, her contributions are included in heavy weight products
| like Voice over IP or webserver solutions. Scary? Sure - for the Old School
| thinkers and doubters. Opportunities? You bet - for the ant hill innovation.
|
| Make no mistake, the Free Software industry is a booming industry making
| headlines every day. It is reshaping the IT world, showing the power of
| individual contributions.
