Countless companies run on $0 open-source software. Its responsible for a large amount of the constant innovation happening. And there are still people making a profit on software, quite obviously. It is not destroying a market, it is setting the bar higher for entry.
- ryandvm 15y agoAgreed. If you're trying to make a living selling something that is no better than what people give away in their spare time, good luck. It certainly isn't everyone else's responsibility to fix the market.
- slowpoke 15y ago>fix the market There's nothing broken with the market, it's the business model that needs to be fixed. And by fixed, I mean scrapped and replaced by models not dependant on selling non-scarce goods.
