“After an ongoing struggle with the increasing complexity, size
and fickleness of the distribution binaries needed to make a
Windows application work, we decided to investigate opensource
development tools and the possibility of making our future projects
open source as well.”
“We had to dispel some myths – that nobody makes money from
opensource software, or OSS, and that we would lose control of our
software if we went down this path. What we found was at odds with
these notions.
“We have found that few companies make money from closedsource
software. Increasingly, the money made is vested with a
disproportionately small group of large organisations.”
