[TYPO3-UG US] This is just about perfect...

[virgil huston]

I have never heard anything good about Documentum, which is a
testament to how important marketing is. It is also very expensive,
but its success illustrates the mindset of corporate America, which
thinks that it can't be good or reliable unless it is proprietary. The
key to the success of TYPO3 in the US, I think, is marketing, perhaps
creating the 'illusion' of a proprietary product for the big markets.
What I mean here is the 'packaging' of the open source product with
developers to design, implement, and possibly maintain the system.
