What is the goal of opensource ? Kill the companies or making professionals jobless? After all, all of us need money to run our lives. Therefore open source code should only be used as a medicine to treat diseases arising in the commercial world or a tonic to strengthen ourselves. If we look at open source as the main source of software, then the industry might collapse very fast. A better blend of open source with commercial software is the ideal tonic to the industry's health.
