Companies to Innovate

| "There is a misconception that open source is all about free software
| that doesn't have the support of business. That's simply not true.
| There is a massive market in supporting open source applications,
| including helping enterprises to adapt it to their needs. The reason
| to use open source is for competitive advantage: to leverage the
| innovation and pace of development available from open source
| communities that no single software vendor can match."

Open source is still fighting against fear
,----[ Quote ]
| The language used by the open source community is another roadblock
| to mainstream adoption. It consistently uses "geek-speak" like
| "unstable" to describe the pre-alpha, alpha and in some cases beta
| versions of its software. Open source vendors are shooting
| themselves in the foot by using these negative words to
| describe their product.
