That may or may not happen, and it may or may not matter. Open Source is already having a massively deflationary effect on the entire software industry. Instead of having to develop entire systems from scratch, being able to download a bunch of free toolkits to use as a starting point has I think made a big improvement to both productivity and costs, across a whole range of industries. Or, to put it another way, nobody in the Open Source world is going to be as wealthy as Bill Gates. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
