| be a geeky programmer’s project is today a cost-effective IT choice for 
| small, medium and big companies. Five years ago, SMEs were the target for 
| open source solutions. Today, big companies in the telecommunications, 
| finance and government sectors are using open source solutions.

Open Source Software for High Reliability Applications: Is it safe?

,----[ Quote ]
| In recent years, a significant trend has been far greater production and use 
| of FLOSS (Freely Licensed Open Source Software). Such software has two 
| important characteristics; firstly it is freely licensed, so anyone can copy 
| it, modify it, and redistribute it. Secondly, the sources are openly 
| available, which means it can be thoroughly examined and any problems that 
| are found can be openly discussed and fixed.

| "The days of proprietary technology must come to an end," [Vice Admiral Mark 
| Edwards, deputy chief of naval operations for communications] said. "We will 
| no longer accept systems that couple hardware, software and data."
