Open data is the antidote to closed clouds
,----[ Quote ]
| It's a good point, but again, I don't think "encouraging...cloud operators to
| use open source software" does much to prevent lock-in, unless they actually
| make that software transparent and usable to end-users. Regardless, most, if
| not all of them, already use open source in abundance due to the quality of
| open-source components like MySQL.
|
| No, the real emphasis must be on open data. Perhaps we need to invent
| open-data licenses, similar to open-source licenses. Perhaps the Open Source
| Initiative should get involved.
