Needles in a haystack (sorting out differences between Free and Open Source Software)
,----[ Quote ]
| There is just a mild disappointment everyone ought
| to have about this view: Open Source does not
| advocate Free Software and software freedom are bad
| things: it just tries to narrow their specifics for
| practical -and sometimes business-oriented-
| reasons. It does not mean, however, that Free
| Software gets in the way of business or stands
| against software business. It adds another layer of
| demands, moral demands that can anyone walk an
| extra mile in the hope to make software a better
| tool for social improvement, and this world a
| better place for everyone. No one must take this
| extra step, no business will die from it. But in
| the end , everyone might just benefit from it. I am
| disappointed that anyone would not find the simple
| possibility of this extra step a negative option to
| have.

| This time however, I am afraid I donât understand
| why people like Matt Asay keep on bringing this
| discussion back on the table. Perhaps Matt Asay
| wants to look reasonable, business-minded, or
| simply pettable by the grand corporations of this
| low world. I am merely conjecturing here. But
| Mattâs blog is becoming thoroughly disappointing.
|
| First this old discussion is, well, as old as Free
| Software and Open Source themselves. It disappoints
| me that Matt would want to recycle old stuff for an
| obscure reason. Really: Open Source vs. Free
| Software, letâs write something old, like, âoh
| those free software zealotsâ, and these open source
| darlings.

| Shugar: For startups and small companies, there are
| public cloud offerings coupled with other commercial
| cloud vendors that can provide a pay as you go
| infrastructure minimizing CapEx investments and reducing
| the risk in deploying new products. For larger or
| enterprise companies, a hybrid model maintaining
| existing compute infrastructure while leveraging public
| cloud offerings for less critical or experimental
| projects may provide more flexibility at reduced CapEx.
