Open Source is paving the way forward
A lot of people when they first hear about Open Source think, “It’s free? What’s the catch? Hmmm, it can’t be as good as product X if it is free.”
That is so far from the truth.
Open Source helps to grow markets by promoting innovation. It is also the antidote to a world of patent law suits.

I had forgotten all about Arduino. Thanks for reminding me Mark Emery!
