According to Raymond, “software is largely a service industry operating under the persistent but unfounded delusion that it is a manufacturing industry.” He argues that this delusion encourages price structures that are pathologically out of line with the actual breakdown of development costs. With your article you have shown how Black-Scholes formula can be used to support Raymond’s proposition. Very elegant. Very convincing.

And so this means that The sale value of a software is determined both by factors intrinsic to the software itself and by factors outside the software. And another thing would be, it is true enough that the biggest problem with discussing open source, we are all from different software worlds and we are dealing with our own environments. And with this kind of idea i do believe that having open source in the industry doesn’t necessarily mean that the entire individual can own or even the entire universe owned it.
