I would say that this is already \nthe case with OmegaT, which in consideration of how long it has been on \nthe market has a respectable user base.\n\nOpen-source projects though do not have the same incentive to gain \nmarket share, and certainly not to become the dominant tool. An \nopen-source project certainly benefits from expanding its user base, \nparticularly in that it widens the pool of volunteers to work in it, but \nno one is watching the bottom line at the end of every quarter. Many \nadvocates/supporters of open-source tools, myself included, would \nactually be unhappy about any single product becoming the dominant tool.\n\nIn the specific case of CAT tools, I see Trados eventually being pushed \noff its perch (though it may take some time), and I don&#39;t envisage \nanother product taking its place, since consumers are increasingly wary \nof the proprietary lock-in that has led to Trados&#39; market dominance.\n\nAs Samuel says, the high-profile open-source projects actually have \nconsiderable commercial funding. But such funding could also benefit \nOmegaT if the right backer were to come forward. This is not entirely \nimprobable; there is considerable commercial interest in supporting the \nFOLT initiative, for instance. With the right form of development, \nOmegaT or a similar tool could satisfy the needs of larger LSPs. Why \nnot; after all, those are precisely the stakeholders in FOLT.\n\nMarc\n\n\nJost Zetzsche wrote:\n&gt; Message-ID: &lt;g7v1u6+oj6o@eGroups.com&gt;\n&gt; User-Agent: eGroups-EW/0.82\n&gt; MIME-Version: 1.0\n&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset=&quot;ISO-8859-1&quot;\n&gt; Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n&gt; X-Mailer: Yahoo Groups Message Poster\n&gt; X-Yahoo-Post-IP: 68.116.43.241\n&gt; X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: groups-compose\n&gt; Sender: notify@yahoogroups.com\n&gt; X-Yahoo-GPoster: hajaSxw2lQBctDMv\n&gt;\n&gt; Hi:\n&gt;\n&gt; I was asked by a German magazine to write an article on open source\n&gt; tools. The direction that I would like to take with the article would\n&gt; be a discussion whether open source tools have a real shot to become\n&gt; mainstream tools, possibly even up to a degree where they could\n&gt; replace today&#39;s leading tool. I myself am not convinced of that.\n&gt; Should I be?\n&gt;\n&gt; Does a tool like OmegaT or a successor of it have the potential to not\n&gt; only satisfy the needs of freelancers but of large LSPs?\n&gt;\n&gt; Anything else you would want me to consider in the article?\n&gt;\n&gt; Thanks!\n&gt;\n&gt; Jost\n&gt; ____________________________\n&gt; Jost Zetzsche\n&gt; International Writers&#39; Group, LLC\n&gt; www.internationalwriters.com\n&gt; P.O.
