The value of Open Source Software in enterprise IT
,----[ Quote ]
| If the vendorâs product strategy breaks the
| underlying contract of mutual benefit with
| companies and people that contribute code,
| many of the benefits of open source
| software beyond cost reduction are
| potentially eliminated.
|
| Moreover, such vendors might risk losing
| their differentiation from traditional
| closed sourced vendors long term. In such a
| case one might raise the question whether
| the ultimate goal is exploiting communities
| in order to be eventually acquired as
| opposed to promoting communities, the
| backbone for innovation, vendor
| independence and quality.

The New Economics of Open Source in the Enterprise
,----[ Quote ]
| Commercial software vendors, of course, are
| hoping this is all just a fad that will go
| away once the economy improves. In reality,
| the open source economy is the new
| enterprise software economy.
