A top official of Microsoft last week claimed that governments that support open source software are not helping build a viable software ecosystem in their communities.
Citing one example, Sharp said people tend to believe open source software is free. He pointed out, however, that even companies that support open source are just as motivated by commercial interests as any other commercial software vendor. He noted that even open source giants Red Hat and IBM are after a return on their investments on open source.
