Arguably the really interesting development starts now. When you look at the areas open source has been successful so far you have to agree that it is in copying/improving on existing products.

No argument on bind or sendmail - of course, you're going a long way back to get them. But what was particularly innovative about the Apache web server or Firefox? Personally, I largely agree with Lanier that, to date, open source hasn't been particularly innovative (Matt Asay had a post about this a while back arnd I took that position then as well). However, as open source gets replacements for most of its closed source counterparts I would not be surprised to see truly innovative open source software be developed.
