Odprta koda – ne v ceni, v uporabni vrednosti je bistvo!
Computer software is intended for the user who today has to deal with two different models of its use and development: the dominant commercial model of proprietary closed-source software on one hand, and open-source software solutions on the other. Many modern organisations are aware of the flexibility and independence of the open-source model, and they see it as a process and as an open source of continuous innovations enabling rapid and ongoing development and improvements. Without doubt, both models will in the future compete more effectively with each other, which, consequently, may positively affect innovative solutions and practical value of the software.
