There's always going to be free services, don't worry. I'm sure the open source crowd won't stay far behind, they're able to innovate far faster.

Yes, and they throw bolts of lightning from their arses.

Seriously, as much as I like open source software (and I really like it), I can't agree with you on this. I think you're doing raymondism.

There is little innovation in the open source world; it's mostly about making better implementations of things invented long ago by companies or universities. But that's OK because in the end we get good software.

Except the open source model doesn't support SaaS very well, so if all software becomes SaaS then open source becomes much less relevant.

I'm sure RMS is thinking of yet another software license to take care of this.
