Should All Business Become open-source?
Lots of us have benefited from the practices that today are called open source. In fact anyone who drives a car or is driven in a car should read a little history on open-source to realise how they are just one of the beneficiaries of individuals and organisations sharing their knowledge and product development.
More specifically, the practice of open source and its products in software development has allowed web developers, marketeers, web and graphic designers, copywriters and SEO professionals to sell their services to an expanding market of businesses and not-for-profits. And in case the market for websites was dwindling and the unit price spiralling downwards, suddenly there is a whole raft of social media software and associated plug-ins that we advise companies of all sizes about at the right price.
