Open Source doesn't win by being cheaper
Summary: Open-source projects must offer more than just being a cheaper alternative to succeed. Profit, not usage, is the key measure of success for open-source businesses. Open-source solutions can win by solving transparency and extensibility problems, and by being better products in the long run. Transparency issues arise when closed-source solutions create distrust between clients and vendors. Extensibility benefits open-source companies by allowing community-driven development of niche features and integrations. By leveraging community feedback and contributions, open-source projects can surpass closed-source competitors.
