Is open source wealth distribution fair?
by from on (#44K3T)
If wealth is the abundance of valuable possessions, open source has a wealth of software. While no one "owns" open source, some are better than others at converting this communal wealth to personal wealth. Many open source project maintainers who produce free open source software do not have a model for deriving income from the assets they have created. However, companies that use open source software to enhance their products and services convert this valuable asset into income.
