Is open source a threat for established software companies?
,----[ Quote ]
| The International Intellectual Property
| Alliance (IIPA) recently released the 2010
| Special 301 Report on Copyright Protection
| & Enforcement which claims that open
| source is responsible for a "tidal wave of
| losses in U.S. jobs and competitiveness."
| Indonesia was recently added to the
| "Special 301 watchlist" because its
| government encouraged its agencies to use
| open source software. Many in the open
| source and technology community have found
| this indictment ridiculous, yet it
| illustrates a very real fear that some
| groups still feel about the open source
| movement. Years ago, internal emails from
| Microsoft were accidentally released that
| exemplified this fear, stating, "OSS poses
| a direct, short-term revenue and platform
| threat to Microsoft, particularly in
| server space. Additionally, the intrinsic
| parallelism and free idea exchange in OSS
| has benefits that are not replicable with
| our current licensing model and therefore
| present a long-term developer mindshare
| threat."
|
| [...]
|
| Journyx has benefited from the OSS
| movement. Though we are not an open source
| company, our software was built on open
| source tools like Linux, Python, Apache,
| and PostgreSQL. These tools allow us to
| ship a free product, called Timesheet.
