Maddog & TCNO

[Jeff Smith]

If anyone checks out the latest "Linux User & Developer"
there's an interview with our own maddog in there.  One
interesting thing he talks about is the "total cost of
non-ownership" - how much does it cost you to not be able
to do things because you don't own the code.  Example - the
code (proprietary) may do 80% of what you need, but what do
you lose in business because you can't modify the code to
do  the other 20%?

Interesting read, could make for an interesting topic at a
talk (or an e-mail discussion).
