So do lots of things, like high-quality products, good friendly
support, convenient retailing networks, etc.  That doesn't make open
source a *better* focus than quality, support, or convenience as far
as I can see.

What it comes down to is that open source isn't *bad* business, focus
is *good* business, and as a focus open source is as good as any
other.
