Open source is the new driving force
,----[ Quote ]
| Barack Obama has chosen it for the White
| House web site. The London Stock Exchange
| replaced its previous trading system with it.
| And Germany has just awarded its most
| prestigious decoration to Matthias Ettrich
| for producing it.
|
| So what makes people opt for open-source
| software?
|
| For many, itâs the price. For others, itâs
| the freedom that open-source licences offer:
| the freedom to inspect the code, modify it
| and distribute it, and the freedom from
| potential vendor intransigence, incompetence
| and deliberate lock-in.

Easier than ever
,----[ Quote ]
| Looking forward to what the next 10 to 20
| years hold in store, it's clear to me that
| open source will be the default mechanism for
| software development.

| Of course, since the study was really intended to draw
| attention to MySQL, it does go on to show how a strong increase
| in the adoption of MySQL is expected. If this interests you,
| you might want to check out the actual survey here (free
