[News] On Open Source Businesses, Community Relations, and the GPL

Two principles of successful open source businesses

,----[ Quote ]
| But they also don't want a lopsided entity that is mostly commercial,
| and very little community, open source. I personally feel that the
| GPL (and other free software licenses) is the best way to ensure
| maximum community input while retaining the ability to give
| enterprises a way out. It won't always be like this - I assume in
| a few years enterprises won't be so keen to buy their way out of
| the obligations of open source (because they'll recognize that the
| obligations lead to greater and greater benefits), but while the
| world is as it is...it's a great model.
