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.
