The birth of the open source enterprise stack
,----[ Quote ]
| For the first ten years of its life, free software was largely a hacker's
| tool. All the early programs ? Emacs, GCC, Perl, Linux ? were written by
| coders for coders (usually themselves). It was the rapid uptake of the
| Internet by business in the mid-1990s that led to free software being used
| by companies, not just their employees.
