"Let's dive into that a bit more. Open source works because it is a win-win scenario. Numerous studies drive this point home and the OSI home page says in the very first paragraph: 'The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.' The vendor gets a better product that is cheaper to develop and support and the user gets a better product that is cheaper to procure and maintain. Win-win."
