,----[ Quote ]
| I love how open source projects are inherently malleable things. Easiest

| there's the endless ways open source applications can be repackaged and

| overwhelming level of investment in open source vendors seen in the first
| quarter, it was always unlikely that level of momentum would continue into
| Q2.
