12. The Emerging Economic
Paradigm of Open Source
• Strongly based on Bruce Perens essay
• Economical point of view over The
cathedral and the bazaar
• Enabling and differentiating software
• FLOSS as a mean and not as the end
13. The Emerging Economic
Paradigm of Open Source
Stallman is a programmer, and chose a philosophical
presentation that appealed to programmers.
In contrast, business people are pragmatists and are
more impressed by economic benefit. Because
Stallman's presentation limited his audience, his
campaign had not been able to achieve the economic
serendipity that is visible today

The Emerging Economic Paradigm of Open Source
14. The Emerging Economic
Paradigm of Open Source
In Raymond's model, work is rewarded with an
intangible return rather than a monetary one.
Fortunately, it's easy to establish today that there is a
strong monetary return for many Open Source
developers.
