ActiveState Goes Open Source

| its dynamic language-focused IDE will fill an open source gap. The company's
| Komodo IDE 4.2 gave birth to a free version in February, Komodo Edit, but
| giving away the basic tools wasn’t enough. In October, Komodo Edit was
| repurposed and rereleased, as open source, under the Open Komodo project.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
