My short answer is this... I do think there are "zealots", and I do think there is "propaganda". I do not think that all open source supporters are zealots, and do not think that all material about open source is propaganda. Well, “a”, thanks for the post.

I understand your point, but couldn't you make it without such attacks? Open source isn't propaganda and does make a lot money for some companies. Perhaps it doesn't work for your company and that's fine but use of such statements are meant simply to insult others.

To remain a sustainable business (profitable, without relying on funding and grants) it is important to somehow have a competitive advantage, whether it be closed code as you have mentioned, or adding other type of value to your product like support and consulting. Even if there become competitive open source program, if it is worth paying for, people will still go with SCORM. After all, that is how Microsoft and Adobe stay in business against their open source competitors...staying one step ahead and being innovative.

We all know companies do what they do to make money. Every business has some monetization structure in place, and consultancy is a very time-intensive activity.

I still pay for SW I had high hopes in but still waiting for next release, better features, etc. “It seems to be the right choice if you are in the business of making money without taking care of how many will benefit from using such a tool.”
