A Windows admin tames Open BlueDragon

,----[ Quote ]
| For assistance in answering this question, I turned to Alan Williamson, the 
| original creator of BlueDragon. Chatting with me all the way from Scotland, 
| he talked me through the benefits and procedure for working with Open 
| BlueDragon. As you may recall from my post last week, Open BlueDragon is an 
| open source version of BlueDragon, an alternative J2EE CFML engine to Adobe 
| ColdFusion. It was released as a GPLv3 open source project just this past 
| May.

Veteran developer ditches Microsoft for open source

,----[ Quote ]
| If you've ever used Microsoft Access or Excel, you have likely used a product
| that Mike Gunderloy had a hand in developing. The irony is that Gunderloy
| himself doesn't use those products anymore. He's given up Microsoft for open
| source -- and he's not going back.
|
| [...]
|
| If that happened, Gunderloy reasoned, it could become impossible for a
| developer to write any code that didn't tread on some vendor's patent
| somewhere. "It was the sweeping land grab by Microsoft that pissed me off."
|
| Add to that Microsoft's infamous May 2007 claim that Linux and other open
| source software infringed on 235 Microsoft patents, and Gunderloy had seen
| enough. He broke with Microsoft and started looking around for new languages
| to learn.
