The "Value Proposition" of Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| The Open Source brand has been successfully defined as providing freedom from
| vendor lock-in, establishing a community of users and developers, and
| enabling any user to be successful, regardless of the size of their wallet.
| The establishment of this regulated market makes the implicit statement about
| fairness: that playing in the world of cost-free products necessarily means
| agreeing to some restrictions that protect users and developers over the
| long-term.

Why Choose Open Source?
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source projects tend to be very agile. Bugs are often reported and fixed
| within days. The developers of the software generally make themselves
| available on mailing lists and discussion groups to help users of the
| software. If you are using proprietary software you are subject to the
| availability of the provider. Companies can go bankrupt and developers can
| flake out on you. If you're using open source you already own the code and
| you can probably find another developer familiar with your technology without
| much difficulty.
