,----[ Quote ]
| In the GPL case, you've spent $50,000 on features you find valuable. Indeed
| your competitors can now use that product and those features, but they can in
| the proprietary route.
|
| There are additional benefits to the GPL products that seem to get
| overlooked. We have full access to the source code. We usually have a
| community full of examples and solutions to any problems we may encounter,
| which are only a Google search away.
