Genivi shows why open source is good for business
,----[ Quote ]
| The automotive industry consortium, Genivi, has been announced. Its aims are
| to produce a common Linux-based stack to run the user-level electronics in
| cars — entertainment, navigation, information systems, and so on. It all
| sounds perfectly sensible, but it's far smarter than that. It's actually a
| good example of why open source is good for business, even outside the
| software industry itself.
|
| [...]
|
| It's up to the Genivi Alliance itself to choose which licence it uses for its
| reference stack — parts will be covered by the GPL, at least — but a good
| open source licence will ensure that no one manufacturer in the alliance gets
| to dictate what the others are able to do in their products, and none of them
| will have to pay ongoing or per-product licensing fees just to use the stack.
