Perhaps. It hasn't turned out that way for me, or for many others. Customers prefer open when they can get it -- it gives them options for recovery. But it isn't a compelling issue in most cases, because customers aren't paying for the software. They are paying for a solution. If you solve an important problem, they will pay. Most software people -- open or proprietary -- don't understand this. The customer simply doesn't give a rat's ass about the software. They care about solving a problem. shap _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
