[News] Free Software Becomes Unbeatable

At its best, is open source unbeatable?

,----[ Quote ]
| The answer might well be no, as the top open-
| source projects are collaborative efforts 
| between multiple companies that pool resources 
| and expertise to drive development. And while it 
| might seem reasonable that a single corporation 
| could best open source's seeming "development by 
| committee" approach, the reality is that well-
| managed open-source projects have none of the 
| inertia that one might expect from a communal 
| approach.

The Story Of Freeware

,----[ Quote ]
| People unfamiliar with the world of open-source 
| software often presume its adherents to be 
| hostile to property, profits and the other 
| mainstays of capitalism. Not true. Bryant, for 
| example, has plans for a for-profit program 
| unrelated to WavPack, and both men say they 
| would consider consulting engagements from 
| companies trying to get the most out of their 
| software.
