I don't get why big companys are afraid of open source software.
I know that monetizing open source is hard but in exchange they would have 8 billion programmers ready, for free!
Even if they do like redhat , as controversial as it is right now, they would be better off than just closing the source.
I would be willing to pay to have the license to modify my own software even if I couldn't redistribute it afterwards.

Big companies make their money selling things that they exclusively have the ability to sell.
The whole concept of open source flies in the face of that mindset.
