Anyway i never said open source concept should wiped out. what i mean it there should be a balance and all the software can't be open source. Just as an example i am running some well known software in this server which is the most expensive in it's class. Its a big paid software but its source is open so i can manage it. But there are limitations for what i can manage from the TOS. They find it nothing secret so they show the source but have limitations on their TOS. In other hand there are encoded software which using zend engine so they wanna keep their secrets. Their hard work and research they don't wanna pass it to the competitors. So in my openion developer should have the right to make it open or close. And the buyers can deside they wanna buy it or not.About the cash flowing concept i think giving the main software free and asking for the payment for the services like giving a carrot with strings attached. To be real i think developing the main software is the biggest and the hardest part so talking it for real, no marketing tricks we give it for the cost involved. Then we give services for free or for a managed cost.  If we give the main software free then we have to sell the services in really high price to cover the full cost which is not ethical and fair. Its like a marketing trick to give something free and attract them.  Other thing when the software is free and open source then others can give the service to a reduced price. So you can't guarantee you will make profits coz others will get profit from your main engine which you spent years to build.In my opinion there should be all open source, closed source, free and paid software. Depending their application and cost involved we should choose the correct method to deliver it in an ethical and progressive way. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /></blockquote>
