There is probably a lot to learn from both sides (closed/open source model of business). Each individual/institution has particular needs and some of them may take advantage of the open/closed source model. This is a decision that cannot be by someone else than the individual/institution. I don't have any problem in using closed-source as long as a specification exists and hopefully also an open-source implementation.
