Is ad blocking the problem?

,----[ Quote ]
| And yet, years and scads of free riders 
| later, open source is bigger than ever. Did 
| the market miss the memo that declared that 
| open-source software had to be monetized 
| directly or would fade into oblivion?
| 
| Of course not. Rather, open-source software 
| developers started to charge for value 
| around or beyond the core open-source 
| software bits. Google gives away immense 
| amounts of open-source software but charges 
| for advertising around it. Facebook 
| contributes actively to open source, too, 
| but also charges for advertising and other 
| services on its site. Red Hat charges for 
| easy access to updates through its Red Hat 
| Network.

Open Source Search Gains Momentum

,----[ Quote ]
| When most people think of search, the term 
| Google comes immediately to mind. But while 
| Google is definitely an industry standard 
| on the Web, the adoption of search engines 
| within the enterprise has been anything but 
| stellar.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Given that context, itâs interesting to see 
| that Lucid Imagination, a provider of 
| search engine technology based on an open 
| source Solr project that is in turn based 
| on the Lucene Java search library, received 
| $10 million in additional financing today.
