Searching for Intellectual Property
,----[ Quote ]
| We're on yet another Intellectual Property search mission. This
| princess bride is pursued through the dread pirate "Open Source,"
| mysterious and fell. How can you make money with Open Source? How
| can you create IP with Open Source? How to make and keep a hoard
| for your VC horde?
|
| One avenue to Open Source profitability is symbiosis. For example,
| Red Hat recognized Linux had not been "socialized." You could get
| Linux for free, but since there was no support for it, using it
| required a "kernel hacker" skill set beyond most administrator's
| capability.

Palmisano Preaches Openness In India
,----[ Quote ]
| He stressed "openness" in business to the Indian CEOs as one of the
| forces that attracts investment. "To cause work to flow to you --to
| your nation, to your region, to your city -- you must have an
| attractive business environment and increasingly a vital element
| of that is 'openness.'"
|
| In the still highly protectionist country where global tech majors
| like IBM (nyse: IBM - news - people ) are aggressively expanding,
| going up against each other and local firms for low-cost talent
| and resources, Palmisano advocated the benefits of "open trade
| and a balanced approach to intellectual property."

"Microsoft seems to have hijacked Linux Asia"
,----[ Quote ]
| Was the general feel amongst the attendees at Linux Asia 2007;
| MS however, just wanted to say ''let us walk hand-in-hand''

That's where Microsoft tried to drive them into embracing software patents
and choose a closed-minded (or source) approach. Trojan horse.
