- You make a very important point about research.
-
The US will presumably have a role as a software innovator.
To do that, companies and governments must invest in research.
This research must be based not just on markets already known to exist, but on markets which can be created because of innovations in functionality.
With exceptions, many IT commercial companies are not investing in this type of valuable research. Dell, for example. (Hardware companies do look at software; consider Intel.)
More important than the educational issue that gets a fair amount of attention is the dollars for research issue, which seems hardly mentioned at all.
A secondary point, but open source software by its nature is not going to have a research budget. It will have talented people investigating possibilities, but some things do require a budget.
