Story: Firefox: The ultimate test for open source?

While I agree with the premise of this article as to the overreaction on the part of the Firefox community. You had every right to report on it and should have. However as to the concluding sentence of your article, I believe the viability and success of open source software has already been proven by Linux and the companies formed around it and the environment of other open source software. My point is that this is already the case. I just dislike the concluding sentence because how do you measure if it's worth it. Obviously, it's worth it to the developers and the user community or they would spend their time elsewhere.
