Digitization's tectonic shift in software value
,----[ Quote ]
| Sure, Microsoft got away with creating two massive businesses (Windows and
| Office) by copying its competitors and out-executing, but even Microsoft
| doesn't get a free pass anymore. Have you seen how its me-too offerings on
| the Web have fared? Weak.
|
| This digital upheaval is having a widespread impact beyond software. Record
| labels, newspapers, health care, and other industries are being overrun by
| digitization. At some point, we'll get past this in-between phase and a new
| era of digital prosperity will ensue. As with Vanderbilt, however, we'll need
| to be careful that our exuberance for income doesn't get carried away into
| monopoly.

Thoughts about Dual-licensing Open Source software
,----[ Quote ]
| Note that releasing your code as BSD for a project that has or may have GPL
| code doesn't protect your code from being dual-licensed in an unfavorable
| way. The only way to ensure full freedom for others is to only donate your
| code under a contributor agreement with a clause as suggested below or to a
| project that has agreeable guidelines for how they license their code!
|
| To assure our users, contributors, and customers of how we at Monty Program
| Ab intend to re-license the code we produce or the code people donate to us,
| I have added the following note to our contributor agreement:
|
| "Monty Program Ab agrees that when it dual licenses code, it will not
| restrict the way the third party licensee uses the licensed copy of the code
| nor restrict how they use their own code."
