Open source always trails professional software solutions. Yet always time after time will eventually surpass it as the bleeding edge moves further. Maybe we can view it in such a way that major companies have become too reliant on free open software. If you want secure software, pay for it. The knowledge will eventually flow down to free software because it's ultimately run by hobbyists. I like the way it is and I don't see it changing because so many are just donating free time to open free software. Maybe something we could do is make open source contributions tax deductible (if we could somehow price it accurately)
