The right and best way to make money from open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Fenton tells the WSJ that the real advantage of open source is the
| distribution model. âRather than âexpensive sales efforts and negotiations
| with the upper management to get the most money possible,â the people that
| will be using the software can easily download and try the product,â notes
| the WSJ.

VMware buys SpringSource
,----[ Quote ]
| VMware seems to want the goodies SpringSource snatched up when it bought
| Hyperic. Rod Johnson and company purchased Hyperic in May, a move which
| puzzled me a bit at the time. Now that VMware is paying US$362 million for
| SpringSource, a company built originally to support the Spring framework for
| Java, I think we all know why Hyperic was valuable.
