Skype and the GNU Affero GPL
,----[ Quote ]
| If the Skype problem lay not with the server but with client software, the
| value of open source software would be even more evident. Proprietary
| software creates a monoculture. The free software movement tends to create
| multiple tools to do the same thing, which can be confusing for people trying
| to choose the best audio player, PDF viewer, word processor, etc. But the
| diversity allows for a quick switch in case a crippling bug turns up in one
| project.

Opera OLPC Edition

| We have been testing Opera on the OLPC laptop since we received
| the "lean-mean-green-machine", as some here at the office like to

Opera Software reshuffles after struggle
,----[ Quote ]
| Opera's browsers are innovative — they sported the ability to open
| multiple tabs in a single window long before any other major browser.
| But the software's market share has remained negligible, especially
| after Mozilla's Firefox emerged as a viable alternative to industry
| leader Internet Explorer from Microsoft Corp.
