Opening Up with Simon Phipps, Sun's Chief Open Source Officer
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, you've claimed open source is "connected capitalism." Can
| you explain what you mean by that statement?
|
| PHIPPS: Yes, that phrase makes some people concerned when they first hear
| it, but in context it makes sense. Some people in the computer industry
| compare open source to communism. Instead, I suggest that open source
| is about people creating things they value, which is quite an
| entrepreneurial concept. And because open source projects aren't performed
| in isolation, the phrase "connected capitalism" seems to be a good way
| to explain the end result of the virtuous cycle of open sourced
| evelopment....
