Open source is a great engine for change and innovation, and it drives tremendous investment in various projects, especially cloud-related.
As an industry, we are still battling the misperception among business users that open source is only for developers and hackers.

Whereas in a proprietary model, a software vendor has financially motivated accountability but transparency is lacking to deter moral hazard.
