You need to set up and organize so that
you can do as many
experiments per unit of time
as possible. If doing
an experiment costs $100 million
and takes three years, well, you're not
going to be able to do very much
innovation.
Jeff
Bezos - Amazon.com
In the case of software most buyers are
very honest about paying for the software,
we have special prices for education and
student-type usage, but you know it isn't
a 100 per cent and we always strive to
let people know about the software licence
scene and we take whatever sales there
are and we use that to fund the research
and development.
Bill
Gates - Microsoft
Technology
innovation is starting to explode
and having open-source material out there
really helps this explosion. You get students
and researchers
involved and you get people coming through
and building start ups based on open source
products.

Berners-Lee - World Wide Web Founder
It was never clear that it wouldn't just
stop (the WWW). Any time during that exponential
growth, it could have stalled. I think
we were never very confident until 1993.

Everybody who runs a Web site knows we're
not assured of compatibility..

People keep asking me what I think of
it now that it's done. Hence my protest:
The Web is not done!
Tim
Berners-Lee - World Wide Web Founder
If I had taken a proprietary control of
the Web, then it would never have taken
off. People only committed their time
to it because they knew it was open, shared:
that they could help decide what would
happen to it next.. and I wouldn't be
raking off 10%!
