Thats why Open Source Is tough here

Now i know why open source is not popular here already, because the people here repackage the open source and sell it …

It just happen that today, one of the company come over and trying to sell a digital image program to us, the first view of the program , i know that is gallery2 , that fellow want to sell gallery2 by the price of 10k to our company for the digital image solution ..

Imagine if i m not there or i m not familiar with all these open source solution , my company might just bought this solution and spend tons of money on this.

when you talk about open source, the management will say not, but when open source repackage by these kind of company selling at high price, the management will say yes .. sigh
