“Software that has been developed by thousands of volunteers and
is given away is often better than the stuff for sale”.
“…open-source is here to stay. Perhaps the software industry
will eventually look a bit like a highway. The infrastructure

public good, while services (support, training) and specialised
applications are for sale. Just don^Òt expect Bill Gates to
like the idea.”
