    Extrait d'un PDF de François Bancilhon, daté d'octobre 2005 et intitulé "ECONOMICS OF OPEN SOURCE"

    Page 11 :

    Why people move to Open Source

    ● Reason number one
    Decrease cost

    ● Reason number two
    Decrease vendor locking

    Page 12 :

    Open Source will be successful if

    ● Prices are low
    Significantly lower than the “current vendor” pricing

    ● Vendor locking is low
    Switching to a different vendor should be at an
    acceptable price

    Page 13 :

    Unfortunately...

    Capitalism likes high prices & vendor locking
