Even if we accept the premise, and the conclusion that this equation 'explains the triumph of open source and public ___domain software', it explains very little about the relative success of open source/public ___domain work vs. commercial closed source work.

I think history indicates that some commercial works can also triumph.

> it explains very little about the relative success of open source/public ___domain work vs. commercial closed source work.

It explains everything.

Open source evolves faster, and always out competes closed source.

> I think history indicates that some commercial works can also triumph.

Nope. Not in the long run. I can't think of a single exception.

So it's made up?

I do what I say and I say what I do.
