OSS: the real point is software control
,----[ Quote ]
| Control is what really matters, on-premise and online. Who,
| how such control is performed, what it may affects. You may
| prefer the ethical angle (like Stallman did) or the economic
| angle (like I do) but the end result is the same, exactly like
| free software and open source are the same.

| As my fellow OSI board member (and report draft author
| Rishab Ghosh) explains "If you cannot quantify these
| exit costs, then you should limit them. If you cannot
| limit them, then you either need other software, or you
| need better criteria." When the question is "How do we
| wasting $1T USD per year on ITC spending?", the answer
| is that we're using inferior tools when superior tools
| are available. When the question is "Why are we wasting
| so much year after year after year?" the answer is
| proprietary lock-in that was never part of our initial
| procurement calculations. I have spoken with
| procurement people around the world in both the public
| and private sectors, and the single best way we can
| help them do the best job is for a line of business (or
| a public adminstrations) to communicate clearly and
| concretely the message that exit costs are real costs,
| and should be considered in all tenders. They have the
| necessary expertise to see that those costs are
| properly evaluated in the context of future
| procurements.
