Another Kind of Freedom
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems as if most people are for OpenSource
| but against any other form of
| distribution/development. For example,
| Microsoft maintains ownership of the software
| that they sell on store shelves. No one owns a
| copy of Windows except for Microsoft. Well,
| good for them, but when Microsoft's products
| became dominant due to market demand people
| starting making noise because Microsoft wanted
| to put their own software on their own
| software (Internet Explorer on Windows)... so
| even though it's Microsoft's property on both
| accounts, they apparently did wrong by
| bundling the two together? Now, in the realm
| of current events we are seeing something
| similar with Google.

Eucalyptus open-sources the cloud (Q&A)
,----[ Quote ]
| It's reasonably clear that open source is the
| heart of cloud computing, with open-source
| components adding up to equal cloud services
| like Amazon Web Services. What's not yet clear
| is how much the cloud will wear that open
| source on its sleeve, as it were.
|
| Eucalyptus, an open-source platform that
| implements "infrastructure as a service" (IaaS)
| style cloud computing, aims to take open source
| front and center in the cloud-computing craze.
| The project, founded by academics at the
| University of California at Santa Barbara, is
| now a Benchmark-funded company with an
| ambitious goal: become the universal cloud
| platform that everyone from Amazon to Microsoft
| to Red Hat to VMware ties into.
