Hi Peter -- Thank you for your remark. I have just posted the link, I didn't plan to start any discussion on the subject... I'd say vivacity not vitality and vivacity for me doesn't imply longevity. I suppose this is what the authors mean by "OSS eating itself" - IOW very strong competition in the field of OSS without any guarantee to have any existing OSS program/package/platform/service/API/... to withstand this competition for a long time (What could be counted as a "long time" period is another open question here). Well, nor authors, nor myself imply that "closed source software" have any stronger "vitality" to guarantee its longevity in this accelerating world... Thank you. -- Shamil Friday, December 13, 2013 12:31 PM -06:00 from Peter Brawley <peter.brawley at earthlink.net>: >On 2013-12-13 4:51 AM, Salakhetdinov Shamil wrote: >> Hi All -- >> >> FYI: "ReadWrite.com" - Software May Be Eating The World, But Open Source Software Is Eating Itself >> >> http://readwrite.com/2013/12/12/open-source-innovation#awesm=~opTdoxBnBY2TUT > >Thx for that link.
