Open source and IT innovation
,----[ Quote ]
| The success of open source software in IT infrastructure and application
| development is reaching into other areas of IT, with open source businesses
| offering hitherto 'higher food chain' products, such as the Business
| Intelligence and Reporting Tools Project, and SugarCRM. It appears that the
| influence of open source software is steadily growing, and becoming
| increasingly important to businesses.

Source code, the foundation of all other open-source benefits

| This is why I like the GPL. No one can manage freedom out of that license. It
| gives the customer an absolute relationship with the code. The vendor then
| has to earn the right to serve the customer around/through that code.

Useme Open Source Requirements Management Tool

| “We have been committed to open source since the very earliest times of the
| movement, going back to the days when Gnu software was championing the
| cause”, says Joel Rosi-Schwartz, Etish Director and, as he likes to label
| himself, Useme's chief cook and bottle washer. "Over the intervening years we
| have made small but, we like to believe, helpful contributions to various
| open source efforts. Today we finally find ourselves in the position of being
| able to offer a major software application which, we feel, will make a
| significant difference in developers productivity and effectiveness. It is
| our sincere hope that this returns a small portion of what we have received
| from the open source community over the years."
