Actually there are many issues involved here. What I'm interested in is to know the pros and cons of this strategy.
1. Involving only PSEB member companies in the development Good or bad?
2. How will this open source initiative help the local textile (main target of this initiative) industry in automation? Just automation or is there a strategic advantage?
3. How likely is the textile industry to adopt the resulting open source software?
4. If only a handful of software firms are involved then at what rate will this industrial automation take place?
It would be nice if we can discuss questions like these. Please contribute any more question that might question the impact of this Open Source Initiative.
