Source • Software that has source code that is freely available • Allows people to mix, innovate software, and keep them constantly up to date • Don't be religious about it
Source Software By 2012, 80 percent of all commercial software will include elements of open-source technology. Many open-source technologies are mature, stable and well supported. They provide significant opportunities for vendors and users to lower their total cost of ownership and increase returns on investment. Ignoring this will put companies at a serious competitive disadvantage.
