You’re saying I should make my free and software open source in the hopes that some *else* will get rich off it while I get nothing at all? What sort of business strategy is that???

Hey, I’d absolutely love it if there were really a way to make an excellent living by producing code that I give away for free. Apparently there isn’t. The sheer desperation of your article’s “logic” confirms that!

This article makes me think about all the other areas that Linux the OS is powering.

Even without a traditional software layer, GNU+Linux offers a free platform that can be used with the addition of small assembly processes to control the operations of a multitude of low level devices.

The use of Linux as a universal OS in these devices, allows a degree of control, telemetry, and most important, interoperability capabilities only dreamed of by previous generations of developers.

I think that it is the need for interoperability in todays increasingly complex world that is driving the adoption of Linux in the controller marketplace.

The same can probably be said as one looks up the higher functionality levels, but I think that Linux on these basic building blocks, is going to be a bigger, if not so noticed, money generator than even Google can manage.

Google is *not a open source* company in any way ! Where can I download their search engine code, google talk code, gmail code, everything at google is proprietory and closed behind their big servers !!!

They are *using* open source, but they are far far away from being a open source company.

So get your facts straight and stop dringking the Google cool aid.
