I kind of got into an argument the other day...
Somebody, well a Microsoft manager no less, was asking me about open source. I started explaining stuff to him, although I'm sure he is quite knowledgeable on the subject.
When all arguments, counter-arguments, points and counter-points where out in the open I could not answer a question satisfactorily. Should there be malicious code in an Open Source application, whom do you sue for damages if it happens to affect revenues, productivity or even your image?
Never mind that closed-source commercial software can, and does, affect negatively revenues, productivity, etc.
I could not answer the question? I'm afraid it will come up again and I still would not have a good answer…
What do you think?
