| percent of participants saying they would see "a year-over-year increase in

|
| 78 percent of survey participants said "the affordable price of open source

Open Source Governance
,----[ Quote ]
| Does Open Source roam freely in your enterprise like it’s the Wild West? It’s
| time to play sheriff before someone gets hurt.
| I recently analyzed a conversation between Sun Microsystems President and CEO
| Jonathan Schwartz and an unnamed CIO, who professed that no Open Source was
| used in her organization and then was surprised when Schwartz noted that
| 1,300 downloads of MySQL had gone into the organization in six months.

| Schwartz also gave out some numbers pertaining to MySQL. As eWeek notes
| Schwartz is excited by the fact that MySQL gets 70,000 downloads a day onto
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| servers and storage devices. Those, of course, are high profit margin
| categories that Sun specializes in.
