Closed source software is *short term* investment whereas Open source software is *long term* investment. Closed source software is *legal now* but unethical. Closed source software is like *renting* a car whereas Open source software is *owning* a car. Closed source software is like eating *restaurant* food whereas Open source software is eating *home made* food.
Hope this helps to convice your superiors. And some words of wisdom "Think politically, Act technically".
As I've pointed out in http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=157050&c id=13182887 this is the right time to comphrensively *review and rewrite* our constitution within the context of current technological advancements for the prosperity of our future generations.
1. Create an index of more than 10 billion web pages (bigger index is more appealing) 2. Let individuals,institutions and companies build web applications viz pagerank, trustrank, adsense, adword, shopping, auctions etc over this index 3. Host these applications locally at your servers or remotely through web api 4. Charge flat fee for providing the indexing service
