“One thing about open source is that even the failures contribute to the next thing that comes up. Unlike a company that could spend a million dollars in two years and fail and there’s nothing really to show for it, if you spend a million dollars on open source, you probably have something amazing that other people can build on.”

This quote is from Matthew Mullenweg, an American entrepreneur and web developer from Houston. Mullenweg is best known for founding WordPress, the hugely popular – and free – open source platform that has been used to build around 810 million websites since it launched 20 years ago.
