Hell yes  - we're gonna compete with our open source brothers and sisters!

Marc's Voice: Hell yes  - we're gonna compete with our open source brothers and sisters!.

This is a perfect post to followup my previous rant.

Earlier Ted Leung used the current Moveable Type pricing scandal as a launching pad for: "Community owned weblogging tools". I responded that the code is only part of the equation of the software.

And then BAM along comes this next post by Jeff, which I actually mainly agree with, asserting that you can't mix a software company and services company - as it generates an inherent conflict of interest with your software customers - and then I thought NO!

I don't agree with Jeff.

You can and we should be able to mix services and software - we MUST!  Over 50% of IBM snd Oracle's revenues are generated from service business.  There's plenty of good money out there, why shouldn't companies be opportunistic and jump on great ideas and run with it...
