Does Open Source Licensing Matter?  

,----[ Quote ]
| While the title of the panel was "Why Open Source Licensing Matters," panel 
| moderator Matt Asay, vice president of business development at Alfresco, said 
| it does matter, though maybe not for all the people on this panel. Asay 
| recently helped to move Alfresco from a SugarCRM-type attribution license to 
| the GPLv2.    
| 
| Though the panel didn't agree on the value of OSI-approved open source 
| licensing, it did agree on the value of the open source model. 
| 
| "Open source as a community matters," Asay said.

FOSS and the philosophers

,----[ Quote ]
| I used to think of myself as something of a rare bird -- a philosopher and 
| software developer with a keen interest in the Free and Open Source Software 
| (FOSS) movements. But as I discovered at last month's North American 
| Computers and Philosophy (NA-CAP) conference in Chicago, there are many with 
| similar interests.

Twisting the Meaning of 'Free'

,----[ Quote ]
| According to CESC Ltd chief information officer Subroto Das, “There is 
| nothing called free software”. I beg to differ. 
| 
| In an article titled, Free software wars re-ignite (warning: many pop-ups), 
| Indranil Chakraborty writes about the continuing war between the Free/Open 
| Source Software movement and the non-free software camp. It really has not 
| re-ignited; it continues.
