And, importantly, since open source depends on the same rule of law to guarantee security, I’m safe in my development, too. All that changes is how I choose to monetize the software. Instead of charging for access to the software, I charge for access to a certified version of the software. Or to services around the software. Or the software as a service, itself (like Google, Salesforce. com, or a range of others). (44)
