4.4.1. Apache : Cost Sharing
-
The Apache web-server was started by
a group of webmasters who decided to pool their efforts into improving one
codebase.
-
It was more profitable than each maintaining his own version of a web-server
, which would have resulted in many web-servers, each one with a limited
and distinct functionality.
-
As a result, the Apache web-server became the most popular in the world,
accounting for more domains than all other web-servers combined.
