Facebook Opens Up

,----[ Quote ]
| As this post rightly points out, we're moving way beyond the traditional 
| LAMP stack in large-scale open source deployments, with all kinds of 
| powerful and innovative tools being developed and shared. This is a 
| testimony to the increasing maturity of open source solutions in such 
| high-end applications. Facebook should also be praised for its mature 
| view that releasing âgenerically useful infrastructure componentsâ as 
| open source is good for the ecosystem, and hence good for them.

âProud to be a C/UNIX programmer ââ

,----[ Quote ]
| Unix systems are also inextricably linked to the free software movement, and
| not just because the idea of free software originated in programmer Richard
| Stallmanâs attempt to build GNU (âGNUâs Not UNIXâ), a non-proprietary version
| of Unix, when AT&T, who had taken over Bell Labs and therefore owned the
| copyright in the main commercial version of Unix, tried to lock it up. Unix
| always encouraged tinkering, innovation and experimentation, and in order to
| do that effectively you need to look under the bonnet and read the source
| code- something that remains central to the free software philosophy.
