Some afterthoughts on "open source".

Everything Open-source is not viable, and my experience with GNU exposes it as a cult, with brainwashing, and sect-type thinking.

There is no economic flow in a totemic jungle. Nor is the rage of cultists particulary pleasant. And The GNU foundation and its cow is obviously a hippie joke. This has no real worth.

You need to consider indeed the best of your development environment, the worth of "open source", and vs the worth of "closed source".

Microsoft business practises are working well on higher level things, while maybe we see more enthusiastic and efficient programming on the kernel components in the linux environment. If you think that is what it is worth, then ofcourse you should drop GNU in favour of public domain, or indeed a more reasonable licence, and paradigm. That interfaces with an economy like that of Microsoft on the higher layers. Then you have the best of both.

If you follow Microsoft practise, then ofcourse you leave quite a bit to the 3rd parties.

Peace.
