I’m strongly in favor of open-source software, and both I and my professional network have worked with it for years.
That said, I’m curious why some individuals and organizations oppose it.
Is it mainly about maintaining a competitive advantage, or are there other well-documented reasons?
Are there credible sources that systematically discuss the drawbacks, trade-offs, or limits of open source compared to closed or proprietary models?
