I was looking over a business plan for a software startup, and I was struck (more accurately, startled) by the fact that it did not mention “open source” anywhere.
Once I’d got past my surprise, I realized that I couldn’t immediately tell which of two explanations was correct:
- No reference to open source because the project was not going to involve any open source activities.
- No reference to open source because, well, OF COURSE they were doing open source – how could anyone assume anything else?
