Thanks. I talk about it a bit when I explain the business models of software vendors and what their selling points are, i.e. the benefits for customers. But I should probably break it out and make customers a fourth stakeholder, because that's what they are. Some of the benefits they get are obvious, like competitive software typically at a cheaper price point than competing closed source. Some are not as obvious, like a more liquid services market. @Rob: Good point! Thanks.
