But is Open Source the sole solution for regaining control over our digital infrastructure? Is the enthusiasm of dedicated developers enough to guarantee the long-term stability, security, and quality required by critical business and administrative applications? What happens when projects are no longer maintained or are deliberately compromised? What role do companies that use Open Source play? How should they contribute to projects?
Mark Neufurth also examines the downsides of Open Source and discusses whether, despite new challenges, open-source software can be the foundation of our digital future.
