Linux On Wall Street Is Not An Oxymoron. Or Is It?
,----[ Quote ]
| So is Linux on Wall Street an oxymoron? Of course it's not.
|
| Linux has staunch supporters on the street who are making money
| with it and are recognizing the inherent benefits of the model.
| Linux, which is by definition free software, is not necessarily
| free without price or without the potential for profit.
|
| Wall Street is all about money, and Linux has proven -- and will
| continue to prove -- that it is a worthy tool in the quest to
| generate even more money.
