I like his argument of solving a problem once, never looked at it this way so far.

I realized that one of the best things about open source software is that you can solve a problem once and then you can slap an open source license on that solution and you will never have to solve that problem ever again, no matter who’s employing you in the future.

It’s a sneaky way of solving a problem permanently.
