suggests that competitions may be a good way to stimulate development
of open-source software.
"
Indeed, I think the Open Source development does not deliver its best results when the customer is a large corporation at a financial distance from the developer. So banks, governments, corporations, consortia, vendors and so really have a vital interest in stimulating Open Source development that meets their needs. Rather than being passive bottom feeders."
