Open source is the worst… in assigning accountability. That’s a real challenge for clients that require this strongly. It’s not a fundamental issue at all, but it’s a big one since it demands a profound cultural change in organisations that are not yet ready for investing in open source solutions. Profound enough to buy into commercial software a few more times alas.
But I mean yes of course, the day this kind of things happen, you know that you can’t fight open source anymore. And I don’t think that was a Trojan horse, that was resignation and strategic alignment.
