[QUOTE="samedney, post: 7956, member: 10490"] Its possible to stay ahead of the game - even against the big boys - writing open source software, as MP is proving. If its all about having the best product and not about capitalism, then developing open source software is its own reward. There are other benefits. The open source community is the first place many companies look when searching for talented programmers. I know I do! I run a software company and we're thinking about opening up two of our exsiting (older) apps to the open source community, as a payment really - as recently, we have been using more and more open source software internally. We first have to make sure we can make enough money without selling those apps to get by - but Im sure it will be good for our name to get it out there. We will also have other apps for sale, so the open source stuff might also lead to sales. (BTW, our software is of almost no use to the general public so this is not an advert!) [/QUOTE]
