,----[ Quote ]
| Having a big-name vendor backing an open
| source project does not necessarily translate
| to lower risk of implementation, and companies
| looking to rely on open source should be
| prepared to support the project inhouse, urged
| a founding member of the Apache Software
| Foundation (ASF).

This Roman knows how to spot the best open source
,----[ Quote ]
| My Italian friend Roberto Galoppini has
| developed a new open source evaluation tool,
| SOSOpenSource, and Funambol has passed its
| tests.

| Most open source evaluation tools use a
| corporate database of code and its licenses.
| They also tell you only whether code is open
| source, and what its license says if it is.
