How do you articulate: why open source?
I speak with decision makers (either investors or enterprise) and there is always a suspicious push back for open source:
-difficult to monetize,
-must be careful not to share “the secret sauce” of the business,
-security flaws went undetected for years (android for instance)
Of course I can reply:
- even Tesla open sourced some patents to allow the creation of the market
- security flaws are everywhere, crowdstrike and windows, at least you have more eyes in open source
But I want to hear how do you articulate it? How do you position open source as superior to closed source?
