so, let me correct my statement
"Open source from anyone that makes their living from products whare the cost of the product is the key is blue sky dreaming. Open source from anyone that makes their living from products whare the cost of maintenance is the key is feasible"


I don't sell software, I sell instruments, you can't build my hardware so I can happily bundle my software for anyone who asks. And increasingly, my customers do ask. It also eliminates customers whinging like Bartosz ! If they want the mod doing by me it costs them x amount, if they want to handle it themselves, fine, but I have to have a copy of the results.
