Thanks, Yahoo, You Did the Right Thing
,----[ Quote ]
| It looks like Yahoo has reinstated the
| Linux/Open Source link on their Tech News
| page. Perhaps it was just a fat-fingered
| mistake or an accident of some sort that the
| link was removed from the main link bar but
| it certainly raised my hackles. And,
| frankly, my hackles don't need raising over
| something like this. But, they've put it
| back in a different location (not a big
| deal) but at least they've put it back. And,
| for those of you who either believe that it
| never left or that my eyesight is somehow to
| blame, I have screen shots for you.

Maddog Editorial: Reusable Code and What It Means to Your Company
,----[ Quote ]
| Companies have, in the past, assumed that
| all the code written by their programmers
| had widespread value to their customers
| and protected it all under the mantle of
| closed source, releasing the code as âopen
| sourceâ only when there was a strong
| business case to make it âopen.â Often the
| proof of open source value was very
| arduous, and therefore not often pursued.
| Perhaps it is time to reverse the practice
| and make every piece of code open source,
| unless there is a demonstrated business
| reason to keep it closed. Then more
| programmers can stop re-inventing the
| wheel.

The real value of FOSS to business â A personal example
,----[ Quote ]
| The bottom line is that FLOSS is not about
| cheap software. Itâs about control. If you
| have the source code then you are in
| control of the situation, although good
| support from the vendor is always welcomed.
| Cheap price comes with the openest/freedom,
| since you are not restricted to pay support
| to a particular vendor if you are not happy
| with him.
