MACHIAVELLI

It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.
-Niccolò MachiavelliThe Prince

Non-profits let you
concentrate
on products not
profits.
Open products
get improved
in ways that you
can’t imagine.
Open products
continue to
live on even if
you don’t.
(FIN) (Or is it…?)
