IF open source is The Way, it wouldn't need subsidizing. It sounds like all utopian arguments: If Only everybody came around to the right way of thinking, we'd all be better off.

Sure its true, but it aint gonna happen.

yep, but it's strange because it's hard to think at the whole IT economy of today without open source. The idea of startups itself was completely different. What Unix? buy a license, with proprietary hardware maybe, and then purchase the web server license, and the compiler...

So soon or later it's gonna happen maybe as everything is posing on this base.
