Story: What vendors really mean by 'open source'
Only if they...
Only if they are willing to take up the support of the open source product.
I am glad to hear you have been around for 18 years and I hope you are around for another 18 years but you never know what is around the corner.
Who would have thought 12 months ago that the financial institutions around the world would have collapsed.
If a proprietary company goes to the wall and has a good product with a viable customer base it will be bought and will survive just like if someone is willing to continue supporting a worth while open source product that has a viable customer base.
I have worked for companies where this has happened. If the software is not viable then it deserves to fail.
