Even if we accept the premise, and the conclusion that this equation 'explains the triumph of open source and public domain software', it explains very little about the relative success of open source/public domain work vs. commercial closed source work.
I think history indicates that some commercial works can also triumph.
- breck 2y ago> it explains very little about the relative success of open source/public domain work vs. commercial closed source work. It explains everything. Open source evolves faster, and always out competes closed source. > I think history indicates that some commercial works can also triumph. Nope. Not in the long run. I can't think of a single exception.
