Question to the folks deep in the fold for developing open source software. How to respond to funder defiance to using open source software for analysis of project work. I'm new as a full time programmer and have just become aware that in some industry sponsored analyses you can only use licensed closed source software like SAS. I was shocked to hear the explanation that open source dev cycles are too sporadic and can't be "reliable" sounds weird and i want to poke holes in the argument
