We’re hearing more from vendors about how new features, functionality, rewrites and releases are being driven by customers — by their direct experience using the software and competing in their various industries. We’re also hearing from customers and users, including the enterprise market, that increasingly they are involved and thus empowered in open source software communities, where they are collaborating on code and road maps and collectively requiring flexibility and openness, including that code and improvements be contributed upstream.
Open source is driven by a need for customization and finding ways to save money on licensing. But its like building your own car, you could build your own car with a open design, buy a engine you want and everything else. But you do end up doing a lot of the support yourself because nobody would want to work on such a car. But I can see why many want more then what they have in choices.
People want he ability to customize more. Just not convinced its right for everyone.
