You Need a Corporate Open Source Policy
,----[ Quote ]
| Decisions about whether or not to incorporate open source into
| their operations involve complex issues that go beyond the technology.
| With over two dozen approved open source licenses, compliance can be
| tricky. Requirements are different for code used internally and code
| distributed to external users. Code contributed to open source projects
| by employees could have licensing problems, or may not be approved for
| release. Compliance can be difficult to control wherever development
| is outsourced. The budgetary impact should also be considered for
| every possible open source migration. It's time for an open source
| policy.
