And it there is a business model by which you can be "open" about your
technology and still make big money -- I am sure the BSchool guys
would have figured it by now!!
check collabnet
I am sorry. But there is one consistent mistake doing the rounds in
this list. Don't give one specific case to prove a point. You need a
general case. Exceptions prove the rule. I want to know how many
"collabnets" are there in the industry? You can handpick them. How
many closed source companies are there? Can we take a quick statistic
to compare them? Are they comparable at all??
Like somebody else pointed out, if you do business out of FOSS, you
have to depend on post-sale support. How many people are going to need
one? Too many vendors can offer that support for that many people? And
most lugs can provide similar support for most of the issues in their
mailing list.
Well, I don't believe this topic is taking me anywhere. Those are my
beliefs and I dont want to question them. I will never want you to
question your beliefs either. So, don't bother replying this one. And
am extremely sorry if I hurt any of the readers sentiments.
