Open vs. Closed: Jimmy Wales on Being Open
,----[ Quote ]
| Wales: One of the key pieces there for me is
| that there are some business models around
| Linux, but those business models â like Red
| Hat â have tended to focus on the server
| market, where certainly in the web-surfing
| world, the LAMP stack [Linux, Apache, MySQL
| and PHP] is dominant. And it is dominant in
| that area in part because there emerged
| business models that made it possible for
| people to do things in a sustainable way,
| whereas Linux on the desktop so far hasnât
| really generated a business model. If you
| think about Android, it can be open source,
| or very nearly open source, and that doesnât
| hurt its chances of succeeding simply
| because Google has a business model around
| it that has nothing to do with selling the
| software. They can fund it, they can support
| it, and it makes business sense for them to
| do so, in a way that it has never made a lot
| of business sense for anybody to really
| spend the money to get Linux on the desktop
| to that kind of polished state.
