Thanks for commenting! You probably talking about license cost. I agree, Open Source can come with different business model and propose zero license code compared to traditional licensed PLM Apps. However, if you think more about CAD applications, the additional advantage of OSS will be a significant openness. Organizations is paying a very significant price translating data between different CAD platforms. What do you think about that? Best, Oleg

Really Interesting article.
But I don’t see these open source CAD application as threat.These applications are really hard to Extend for Engineering applications. These are quite good for animation industry….
On Secondary note Cost of the CAD application’s are still low & you have variety of options ranging from Auto CAD to CATIA V5 /V6, with different costs & catering to different needs of the industry.
Looking ahed I see a real threat of Open source to PLM. Reason — COST.
Thanks
