More on Open Source

| [Phipps:] I am writing a paper on the subject, you can expect a more
| developed response soon. Suffice to say I think the "open source" brand is
| over-used and under-defended.

OSCON takes Microsoft money to 'marry' them with OSS (recent examples below).

Is Microsoft Irrelevant?
,----[ Quote ]
| At OSCON, a top software architect questions Microsoft’s relevance as Linux
| and open source march on into the enterprise and the overall computing
| landscape.
|
| Is Microsoft irrelevant?
|
| That's what Brian Aker, director of architecture at Sun Microsystems' MySQL,
| called the software giant in an onstage Q&A during the opening day of
| keynotes and sessions at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention here July 23.
|
| [...]
|
| O'Reilly chuckled at the response and offered a bit of an apology to any in
| the audience from Microsoft. After all, Microsoft is a top-level Diamond
| Sponsor of OSCON this year.

| While often criticized by open-source advocates, Microsoft nonetheless has
| established a presence at OSCON this week, with its sponsorship of the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Participate08 session at OSCON, which was focused on boosting dialogue about
| open source and other collaborative communities.

Pendulum has swung in the open source debate
,----[ Quote ]
| Once upon a time, the term "open source" was coined to save the free-software
| world from itself--or, rather, from the free-software zealots, as you can
| read on the Open Source Initiative's Web site.
|
| Today, I can't help but feel that the pendulum has swung in the opposite
| direction, where we're so self-satisfied with the money we're making off open
| source that we have neglected the essential freedoms that make open-source
| profit possible.

Open Source is no Web 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| It is time we stop the term open source from getting hijacked. I recently
| wrote about how tech media doesn’t get open source. The events in the last
| week or so have confirmed my thesis further.
|
| [...]
|
| It is time for saner elements in the open source world to wake up and stop
| the abuse of the term open source by the tech media and companies like
| Microsoft. If we don’t do it now, the only other alternative is the free
| software movement and the business community may not be able to leverage the
| freedom offered by the free software then.

Cries for help go out as open source mogul's radar breaks
,----[ Quote ]
| That very speech served as O'Reilly's attempt to make up for his evisceration
| as the hands of Free Software Foundation attorney Eben Moglen. One day
| earlier, Moglen charged O'Reilly with wasting too much time on hem lines,
| haircuts and the latest fluffy Web 2.0 start-up that looks like it might be
| acquired for a ridiculous amount of cash. O'Reilly had no counter on the
| actual day of Moglen's attack, but thought about the issues overnight.

Eben Moglen challenges Tim O'Reilly to "join the conversation"
,----[ Quote ]
| At the O'Reilly Open Source Convention today, Software Freedom Law Center
| director Eben Moglen threw down the gauntlet to O'Reilly founder and CEO Tim
| O'Reilly. Saying that O'Reilly had spent 10 years making money and building
| the O'Reilly name, Moglen invited O'Reilly to stop being "frivolous" and to
| join the conversation about software freedom.
