For programmers who "worry that the transition to open source will abolish or devalue their jobs," Raymond adeptly and factually counters that "most developer's salaries don't depend on software sale value."

They can customise it as they want and the community provides the support. It shows how closed source business can go open source to prevent their competitors monopolising a sector (Netscape open sourcing Mozilla). That their investments in hardware and records may be dependent on one software company's decision to continue supporting that software revision is the problem. The author tells of many real-life business experiences companies have had adopting the open source method. Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2005.
