OEM Deal Extends Reach Of Hyperic Open-Source Management Tool

,----[ Quote ]
| Hyperic, a developer of open-source Web infrastructure management software, 
| continues to spin its own Web of alliances. After launching a common services 
| platform project with Linux vendor Red Hat earlier this year, Hyperic has 
| struck a deal to build its systems management API into Terracotta's 
| open-source Java clustering software.

New summary on the FOSS vs OSS debate:

When is Open Open? And When is Open Closed?

,----[ Quote ]
| Frankly, it strikes me a philosophical divide akin to the one that exists 
| between the Apache camp, which favors permissive licensing terms, and the 
| FSF, which advocates reciprocal-style alternatives. Not solely in the depth 
| of the divide, in fact, but also in its persistence.

How open is your open source vendor?

,----[ Quote ]
| If vendors are not proactive about writing and publishing declarative 
| statements about their open source involvement, they may find that community 
| users start judging them on the community’s terms. From Milking the GNU comes 
| the suggestion that a new independent organization could be formed to judge 
| vendors that claim to be open source on a number of criteria, such as patent 
| policy, business model and development model.
