Open source seems always good news on the consumer's perspective and for the 'science' of the tools in general, but it's sad it's always the small entrepreneurs who have to pay the price of revealing their intellectual property.. I'm a big proponent of OSS, and my largest projects actually where of that nature, but as long as you're not big enough an enterprise, for too small a market, or too early for it, going OS usually gives the big actors even better ways to keep the market captive.
