There is a place where open source platforms and software should be the norm, and that's in government and education. There's no reason to use proprietary software and platforms as the governmental norm (for example, all software related in any way to collecting and tallying votes should be open source). Nor is there any reason to push Apple or Microsoft on students, or for that matter, proprietary and overpriced textbooks. As far as making money, governmental and educational programs should hire technical professionals who keep their open source systems secure and updated, and who also contribute updates and improvements to open source code. Yes, this cuts the investment capitalists and monopolistic tech corporations out of the taxpayer-financed public sector, while also improving the quality of governmental and educational programs, and likely saving on expenditures as well. Sounds like a win-win.
