About Mapping Open Source into Your Business Model
,----[ Quote ]
| Vendors enjoy open source innovation, think of the linux-embedded case, or
| the many initiatives in the mobile arena. Sequential innovation within
| technological clubs demands participation, and membership is not for free.
|
| Open source software potentially saves industry over 36% in software R&D, and
| it is no surprise that vendors like the idea. Influencing or leading an open
| source project is about adopting a symbiotic approach and this is not for
| free too.

"The government is not trying to destroy Microsoft, it’s simply seeking to
compel Microsoft to obey the law. It’s quite revealing that Mr. Gates equates
the two."
