Diaspora: Freedom in the Cloud?

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the key thinkers in the free software 
| world is Eben Moglen. He's been the legal 
| brains behind the most recent iterations of 
| the GNU GPL, but more than that, he's 
| somebody who has consistently been able to 
| pinpoint and articulate the key issues 
| facing free software for two decades. 
| Recently, he did it again, noting that cloud 
| computing is a huge threat to freedom.
| 
| Even if you don't use social networks like 
| Facebook, your children probably do (or 
| will). And the push to move practically 
| *everything* âinto the cloudâ means that the 
| issues are not just about personal 
| information: businesses, too, will find that 
| they are essentially placing key competitive 
| information about themselves on somebody 
| else's computers a long way away, with 
| little real control over what happens to it 
| once it's âthereâ.

Morphlabs Launches Cloud Appliance

,----[ Quote ]
| Morphlabs is able to provide the EC2 
| compatible APIs by piggy-backing on the work 
| of two open source projects: Eucalyptus.org, 
| which issues the APIs in code under the GPL, 
| and Open Nebula, which issues them under a 
| BSD-style open source license allowing 
| greater latitude of for-profit 
| implementation, said Damarillo.

What's Needed For Open Source Cloud Computing to Succeed?

| We've taken note of the up-and-coming 
| players in open source cloud computing

| the folks over at Eucalyptus Systems, one of
