I interviewed Bernard Golden, CEO of Navica, the other day at the 2006 MySQL User’s Conference. Bernard is always worth listening to, and hopefully our audio interview will appear on Distributing the Future sometime soon. I hope it’s fair to say that Bernard believes that the economic advantage of open source software is so compelling that companies cannot avoid it.

That’s curious, if you think about it. If it’s difficult to argue that not only do people distribute high-quality software for free and with generous redistribution policies, but that that software can be more worth using than proprietary software, there’s an assumption or belief mismatch somewhere.
