Open Source er på mange måder svaret på det hele og så aligevel ikke. Det har dog vist sin berettigelse og de etablerede virksomheder har brug for dem på en eller anden skæv måde. Microsoft er endda gået så langt som til at kaste penge i Open Source udvikling. Hvem ville have troet det? Og for få år siden smed Autodesk hele deres GIS teknologi ud til Open Source. Lur mig om ikke det samme sker for visse af ESRIs produkter.
Open Source is in many ways the answer to everything and then ... not. It has over the years shown it's worth and even established companies have dependent on it in dubious ways. Recently Microsoft sponsoret quite a few dollars on ... Open Source. Who would have guessed? And it is only a few years ago that Autodesk gave all their GIS technologi to the Open Source community. It may sound absurd but I do believe that we will see certain ESRI products shared with the Open Source community sooner ot later (I say sooner)
