IT giants in open source for competition, cash
,----[ Quote ]
| Taking an audience question on how big software companies such as Microsoft
| and Oracle are viewing competition from open source, IBM’s Huizenga
| highlighted how all proprietary software companies are seeing more and more
| of their traditional revenue bases challenged by open source. This
| competition, highlighted in a recent study, comes with a growing audience of
| open source users, developers and yes, enterprises that do not pay anyone for
| any software, support or services, yet extend the reach of open source.
| Huizenga later highlighted the ongoing opportunity in open source software,
| referencing how IBM’s investements in Linux, far less than what would be
| invested in proprietary development, continue to pay off hansomely.
