Well...I think asking a vendor to open the source to a commercial product is definitely dreaming. Open the source so a competitor can steal your intellectual property? I don't think so... -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carey Matthew Black Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 10:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: IBM MRO? Ah... while we are dreaming..... How about they open access to their source code for their paying customers. ( They do not even have to change the licensing model to do that.) Just let us see the real code. If they are still wanting to keep things locked down... then they can keep some parts closed source too. That way they build "platform presence" and can get their customers to actually help them fix BUGS in their code. :) The real root problem (IMHO) they think that they can make more money the way they are running the business now. Only time will tell if some competitor comes and eats their lunch , or some portion of it, or maybe they will adapt when they think they have no other choice. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
