"The article focuses on the critic by Stephen Abram, vice president of innovation at SyrsiDynix, about open source integrated library systems (ILS), which was leaked on October 29, 2009. Abram said in the leaked paper, that the open source software are a big threat to the vendor-based market of ILS. He added that the paper was the reaction of his company on the development of the open source technology in the market. Mark Leggott of the University of Prince Edward Island argued that the stand of Abram on open source software was just well wrong."
