More and more software vendors are looking at Software as a Service(SaaS) model as a way to guard against the opensource onslaught. Amazon’s DevPay is a swim with the (opensource)current strategy. Now you don’t have to be the unique - Ridiculously Possible - Obvious Inc to be profitable AND OpenSource. Most people will be happy to pay up for the hosted service and rather not dabble with the code, building it and deploying it. The reduced financial friction offered by Amazon DevPay will see interesting services offered by garage startups challenging the incumbent players in every domain possible.

Too few senior IT managers are willing to take the risk implied by ‘responsibility’. Picking a major supplier is ’safe’, even if the effort is a failure." I guess you could always buy your way out of risk when using Open Source if you're that concerned about a particular piece of software. MySQL AB, Canonical, IBM and others make a good living out of minimising that risk. That way you get the benefits of commercial software with the benefits of Open Source. Sites like <a href="http://www.findopensourcesupport.com" rel="nofollow">FindOpenSourceSupport.com</a> come in useful in those instances. @lmb “It would be useful to look at the other side of point number 1. ” Open Source makes you responsible”.
