| and circuit diagrams readily available on 
| this page (Japanese only) for anyone who 
| would like to take to the air with

Glaxo Tries a Linux Approach 

,----[ Quote ]
| A decade ago, the Linux operating system 
| helped spark a revolution in how software 
| is developed. A move by GlaxoSmithKline 
| PLC could test how well similar open-
| source principles work for developing new 
| drugs.
| 
| [...]
| 
| In software, the approach has spawned the 
| Linux operating system, MySQL database and 
| an array of other programs. Those 
| community-born technologies now compete 
| with products from Microsoft Corp., Oracle 
| Corp. and other traditional, commercial 
| software makers. Open-source developers 
| share programming instructions called 
| source code that software companies 
| traditionally kept confidential.
