If open source developers find greater protection for their work and its results in Europe than in America that's where they will gravitate. That's the kind of regime the EU is trying to create. We ignore that and dismiss that at our peril.

Microsoft’s agreement to provide full technical documentation – and lower royalties – on its software protocols is a big yawn to the open source community, developers and consultants say. No surprise. Since its battle with the European commission began almost a decade ago, web services have rendered such protocol licensing a dinosaur of the past. [...]

Spam, which uses the same port as regular e-mail traffic, thus becomes the convenient excuse for eliminating the open Internet and creating a new, carrier-controlled network in which innovative services like Netflix Video on Demand can be killed, because they threaten cable's business model.

The same problems which make buying Web 2.0 more like buying water than land also operate in open source. Except that while it's customers who will walk away in the former area, it's developers who can walk away in the latter.
