Open source software is better than proprietary software according to the document. Open source software benefits from contributions from a large community of users providing feedback, resulting in higher quality projects. It also allows companies to sell services rather than products, since the software itself is given away freely. Examples of successful open source projects mentioned include Firefox, Apache, MediaWiki, MySQL, and NASA's use of open source to cut costs and ensure quality.
