If Misys wants to compete effectively in open source that will have to change fast. Open source is more than free code, it's a transparent way of doing business.

Zonbu combines a host of trends -- Internet computing, open source, cellular business models, laptop design, SaaS -- in one box. It will be fun to see if this takes off.

What Chris Waters calls Project Wishbone is based on RogueScanner, a scanning tool originally created to find viruses and other rogue programs. Now the GPL software is being adapted to detect everything on your network -- hardware, software, switches, routers, the lot.

The Bells know this is a life-and-death struggle. They know they can't win in a truly competitive market. They will do everything they can to beat down Google. Which just goes to show you how they hate open access, and how Google's cause is yours.

One can argue that the Everex machine is a stunt. Since we're talking about replacement machines, anyone with an existing Office license will find the claimed price break disappears. If you're running Linux, you can get more hardware for less. Notice the lack of a monitor in the picture.

If your management wants transparency, you can get it by blogging. Break down the wall between your CEO and the market, and you may be surprised at the benefits which result.

What makes Flint stand out is how he has accepted extensions to his original work, and even, as in this case, co-sponsored them for the book market. By accepting the open source process he has extended his franchise in many directions, both financial and artistic.

My point is that open source, by its nature, changes a lot of rules. It changes the nature of competition, the nature of acquisition. It does not overthrow these rules, it twists them into new forms.

Rather than asking whether DRM is moral, legal, good or bad, what if we could find a DRM-free business model which spun money for content producers at least as well as open source does for software?

If Microsoft were going up against other proprietary vendors in these cases, politics would not likely be an issue. One result is that Microsoft also ends up making political arguments in pursuit of its business objectives. And political activists become agitated on its side as well as that of open source, which leads to the open source=communism argument.

Whether the SugarCRM license conforms to the OSI standard is not important, Whitehead said. Affordability is all. License gotchas don't matter as much as the small business' relationship with their reseller.
