Haha, mate, seriously, lo mesti go out more ;) Ini dah jadi topik sehari2 di setiap local pub.. java maupun .net. Ada company yang sampe hari ini masih pilih bayar (ehm, mahal) yet buggy source control kayak AccuRev (buggy dan file lo bisa ilang sendiri), just for the sake of nghindarin OSS tools kayak svn ato git. Banyak company punya misguided fear terhadap security. Beberapa karna kerumitan license. Beberapa karna kepercayaan ke commercial support. Apapun alesannya, no-oss itu adalah subculture yang hidup dalam society kita.
In fact, kalo lo sempet ngerasain jaman 90an (ato ngobrol sama temen2 lo yg dari jaman segitu), itu jauh lebih parah. Di jaman itu company yg bersedia pake OSS itu justru exception, daripada norm. Di jaman itu lebih banyak project yang dipaksa J2EE dan ngeliat Spring dengan jijik. No-OSS policy itu emang golongan minoritas, tapi bukan berarti FUD. At least google dikit donk. Nih liat2 kemari: http://www.pluggd.tv/audio/channels/interition_roller_weblogs Ada 2 episode ngomongin penuh soal subculture no-OSS.. apa yang melatarbelakangi, dan apa implicationnya buat kita2.
