I would say the following: If you need a reliable, by which I mean long-term, solution use software which has a community _and_ can be forked by that community. Even better, use software with a copyleft license. Copyleft prevents proprietary interests from taking the software and competing with the community with the intent to marginalize it. (E.g. The BSD license let Sun and later Apple marginalize the BSD based OSs.) Karl <ko...@me...> Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A. Heinlein |
