Findings
The Open-source philosophy can improve the peoplerelations especially between the producer, developerand the user by information exchange.
We can trust the open-source more than closed-source because we can see what is exactly wr ittenthere, and we can change it also as w e want.
We can fix any problem with enough experience (or
by external programmers' hiring) becau
se weha
vethe source code.
Reducing the cost and get more prof it as we saw inLIC Company, they can get about 15 % more prof it byapplying 100 % open source software.

Open-source growing faster than closed-source, and it will reduce the closed-sourceshare market, but not in near future.
