Who will be the next Open Source Public Enemy #1?

,----[ Quote ]
| SCO's many lawsuits, both real and threatened, forced the open source 
| community to reconsider, at the most basic level, how we license open source. 
| SCO didn't gain much from the suit, at least not in the long term (its OTC 
| stock trades between a nickel and a dime per share this week), but its 
| actions did force the open source industry to get more serious (some might 
| argue more professional) about delineating who has the rights to what.

Red Hat Pits Itself Against VMware

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat’s new goal is to underpin 50% of the world’s servers by 2015.
|                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
| And since virtualization is projected to take over the world by then that’s a 
| lot of Xen virtualization – and there’s no extra cost in it like there is 
| with VMware since it’s bundled with RHEL. (Red Hat’s telling people they’ll 
| save $20,000-$30,000 a server.)
