The meme that open source does not innovate

,----[ Quote ]
| But isn’t this true in general? Most new software is not radically 
| innovative, only incrementally so. What open source delivers is a 
| process for innovation and open collaboration. This can be seen in 
| programs like SocialText, an enterprise Wiki. (Wikis are pretty innovative.)
| 
| One other note. Sawyer’s point is not innovative. It’s been part of 
| the FUD for years. And open source itself, its licensing and work 
| models? Who can argue they are not highly innovative?
