Well, let’s hope it doesn’t happen! loL~

Since the OSS development isn’t based on the economical factors of a software houses/enterprise, it won’t get affected negatively!
Since big software houses depend the research and development of new products on the profit they make, the development of new software will become harder for them (not able to spend more money on creating new or improving their existing software products).
So, the software development from OSS communities will become the solution to this dead end of this “crisis”…
