The care and feeding of FOSS (or, The Lifecycle of Software Technology)
The rise of Free Open-Source Software (FOSS) has fundamentally altered
the economy of software publishing, and in fact is having an impact in
almost all modern industries across the globe. Yet, there is a huge
amount of ignorance about FOSS.
- Why do some companies fail to see FOSS coming?
- Why do some FOSS projects start at the worst possible time?
- Why do companies fight FOSS, a battle they are guaranteed to lose?
- Why do FOSS advocates think everything should be FOSS?
