Carl Begin forwarded message:
2. The commercial firms would also make a shift to using more open source, more quickly. Existence they understand and they'll move when they see the train is leaving the station. This will ultimately benefit their customers, maybe not as much as the pure OSS adopters, but then we all know, the pure OSS option won't be for everyone.
