How Facebook Works

,----[ Quote ]
| The top tier of the Facebook network is made up of the Web servers that 
| create the Web pages that users see, most with eight cores running 64-bit 
| Linux and Apache. Many of the social network's pages and features are created 
| using PHP, a computer scripting language specialized for simple, automated 
| functions.

Facebook adopts the CPAL poison pill

,----[ Quote ]
| For more traditional software projects, customers derive value from being
| able to modify the source code. But Facebook's customers are unlikely to do
| so, and now its partners (and competitors) won't do so, either. CPAL may make
| sense in some contexts, but I'm not sure this is one of them, unless Facebook
| actually intends for no one to modify its source code....
