Two open source dilemmas
Date: 05/12/07
Keywords: no keywords
It all comes down to a balance between what Choksi calls "consuming activities" and "sustaining activities." Open source companies need balance between the two, just as they need a balance in the financial accounts.

Open source is bad for vendors
Date: 05/11/07
Keywords: no keywords
Patents and copyrights were conceived as individual rights, not corporate goods. And open source proves that inventions can be even grander than before if rights to the work are held in common. To some people this still sounds like revolution

I believe the power of open source lies in sharing and structure.

Is no news good news for Red Hat?
Date: 05/10/07
Keywords: linux
Red Hat is no longer the only big dog in the Linux space. It faces a lot of competition. But at the heart of its market, the enterprise space, what I might call the IBM space, Red Hat remains strong. Its relationship with IBM seems strong, and IBM itself has mainly kept quiet this last year, preferring to let its numbers to do the talking. So, does Red Hat need to make headlines in order to stay on top?

Sun’s plans need political help
Date: 05/09/07
Keywords: no keywords
It will take political pressure to create the kind of competitive wireless market in which something like a $30 Internet phone can be made available. Time to bring it.

Open spectrum can close the broadband gap
Date: 05/09/07
Keywords: no keywords
Through a combination of pressure to build-out systems and deliver services, along with a reverse auction to increase the amount of unlicensed spectrum, a progressive FCC can dramatically increase the amount of open spectrum available in a relatively short time.

Happy Sun Day
Date: 05/08/07
Keywords: no keywords
It was one thing for IBM to commit to open source. It was something else for Sun to say it would go open source. But now Sun has done just that, and under a FOSS license. Everyone party like it's 1995

The war against open spectrum
Date: 05/08/07
Keywords: no keywords
Blaming the TJX mess on WiFi or open spectrum is wrong. It gives aid and comfort to those forces who are trying to drive open spectrum, and open access to the Internet, underground. That, I submit, is the greatest threat open source faces today.

The straw men of open source
Date: 05/08/07
Keywords: no keywords
What moderates against straw men, and what limits their reach, is the community. Any argument which stands against the consensus of the community becomes an extraordinary claim, demanding extraordinary proof.

Will the last top developer out of Novell please turn off the lights?
Date: 05/07/07
Keywords: no keywords
While the market for superstar developers seems to be strong, especially with start-ups, Novell has apparently decided to go in the opposite direction, becoming a marketing-driven company. That is the kindest spin I can put on it.

How to kill open source
Date: 05/07/07
Keywords: no keywords
My point is that so long as Internet values such as openness, connectivity and consensus can be successfully put down, either by violating or twisting the law, open source is threatened.

End of the gotcha clause?
Date: 05/03/07
Keywords: software
The language fits the business practices, not the other way around. It's an important lesson. The days of the "gotcha" clause in software licenses are quickly fading into history.

The battle of the suites comes to open source

Suites have a long history in the proprietary world. Is it wrong to think suites could be just as successful in the open source world?
