Open Source isn't dying. The idea that Open Source is the only software model
we need is dying. Open source is still thriving, in the areas it works best:
tools and platforms that developers use. Infrastructure, not product. I don't
drive a publicly funded and maintained car, but I don't drive much on GM or
Ford maintained roads, either.
