,----[ Quote ]
| We reported last week that VC funding for
| OSS-related vendors fell 37% in 2009 to

| decline was not actually as steep as I or
| others had predicted.

,----[ Quote ]
| But the good news is that open source vendors
| pulled ahead of the pack. Aslett writes that
| "OSS-related vendors fared better in terms of
| investment compared to software as a whole."
| This takes into account 67 deals, with a dip
| of 25% year over year from 2008. The total
| investment bill came in at about $375 million.
