Why do powerful software companies fear open source?
Is because a guy or Girl in his or her garage, house or Apartment could put them out of business.
I think because were now reached a point we did back in 1970 and 80’s when one company I wont name took an idea. And Took the world on it closed mined junkie ride.
The powerful software companies should ask them self this how many ex employees now work for open source projects and why? What would the world look like if we all only could buy only off spring of the Model T? Money is made off an idea but sooner or latter that Idea becomes common since and that when it should be added to open source. Then it is for the betterment of the whole world. If one company had a vaccine for AIDS and could SAVE millions but the only way be saved was to pay $500.00 how many would be saved.
