- yannyu 12y agoDidn't those companies start with the open-source then build a company around it? As opposed to starting out closed then later open-sourcing?
- lquist 12y agoYes, that should be pointed out. But I don't know if that situation is different enough to make those companies irrelevant.
- TallGuyShort 12y agoYep - and I agree that's a very different scenario. They didn't (necessarily) open-source the product because they thought that would be the game changer, they saw a market connected to the project and looked at how to fulfill that market's needs.
- TallGuyShort 12y agoDownvoters care to explain any disagreement with what I said or how I said it?
