  • Open Source software will never be able to monetize as well as closed-source. We might only capture 10% of the value we create. But being open source inherently creates strong network effects that tends to push towards a limited number of winners, and the addressable market in CRM is so big that it's still possible to build multi-billion dollar company while massively driving the costs down for everyone.

    It's kind of like the Prisoner's Dilemma: If every company keep their software proprietary, they can all make on moderate growth/profit. But if one goes open-source, they could attract a large community, drive innovation, and potentially reap long-term profits while reducing the overall market size.
