Why open source is unsustainable (Financial Times)Why open source is unsustainable (Financial Times)Posted Oct 25, 2004 2:30 UTC (Mon) by paulj (subscriber, #341)In reply to: Why open source is unsustainable (Financial Times) by aleXXX Parent article: Why open source is unsustainable (Financial Times)
The key behind open source is not only that you get the binaries for free No, "Open Source" does not mean you get the binaries or source for free. Ask RedHat, or SuSe or even Sun. You might even pay hundreds of thousands, even millions, of euro for the binaries/source, if you pay for it to be developed or pay some other first-use cost/fee for Free Software (See, eg, how blender was open-sourced by way of a huge fee.).
