Open-source evolution hits overdrive
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source software has hastened the
| evolution of Web applications as it drives
| out the inefficiencies and costs of
| proprietary software to enable companies
| like Google and Twitter to scale. But it's
| not just proprietary software that is
| feeling the squeeze:
|
| Companies like Facebook are now swapping out
| old-guard open-source projects like MySQL
| for new-school open source.

Open source: Still room for the little guy?
,----[ Quote ]
| The downside to the small-company-big-
| community approach is that it can be hard to
| sell value around a community that is used
| to getting everything free of charge.

| So there you have it, folks. Mr. de Icaza
| speaks for Team Mono in direct support of
| the Microsoft Silverlight âRevolutionâ â
| encouraging development with Closed Source,
| Proprietary Software. People have been
| constantly raising flags that Novell / Mr.
| de Icaza / Team Mono have lost sight of
| Free Software as they grow ever closer to
| Microsoft, and this is a startlingly black
| mark proving warnings come true.
