Open Source Makes a Difference

,----[ Quote ]
| The obvious reason to use open source software 
| is cost savings, says Mark Madsen, president of 
| market research firm Third Nature. But, whether 
| you actually save when it comes to license and 
| support costs is the question among many.
| 
| Using public sources and vendor information, 
| Madsen created a Pentaho-sponsored cost 
| comparison report (âLowering the Cost of 
| Business Intelligence With Open Sourceâ), 
| comparing BI software and support costs from 
| Pentaho, IBM (Cognos), MicroStrategy, Oracle 
| and SAP (Business Objects).

An Open Source Principle: One Good Thing Leads To Another

,----[ Quote ]
| In open source, the idea that the endgame for a 
| project won't necessarily closely resemble the 
| origin is a given, not a surprise. It's part of 
| the point of open source. If you look at what's 
| going on on the open source scene, now, you see 
| this concept being played out all around.
