Close source is dead, open source is the way to innovation!
,----[ Quote ]
| There's no PR-department at 'the Linux community office' to ask what the
| current innovations are, what's going on and what's new. Instead of being
| lazy you have to find it out for yourself. Even someone who spends a part of
| the day reading news stories about open source software, finds at least ten
| innovative new programs he has never heard of in a list of 100 recommended
| open source programs (that's what happened to me today). No, I'm afraid
| people who think open source doesn't bring innovation and don't see how the
| closed source model hinders innovation just failed their trendwatcher exam.
| Wake up, it's 2008!

What's a Derivative Work? Depends Who You Ask
,----[ Qoute ]
| "Except for SCO, there really have been no claims for illegal derivation in
| the open source world," Wacha said. We all know how that turned out. The
| problem for SCO was simply that it didn't have reality on its side. It
| couldn't defend Unix as its intellectual property because it wasn't, and now
| it's going to end up owing Novell lot of money it'll never be able to pay.

| Open source innovation: how does it work?
|
| Ideas or problems are made freely available to anyone who can be bothered to
| look at them. They are then aired in online forums, meaning that glitches are
| ironed out in record time, and the forum creator charges to a manufacturer to
| develop the prototype and get the product onto the shelves.
