Determining the Value of Open Source Software

,----[ Quote ]
| The decision to put a dollar sign on an open source project depends on its 
| application, as does the model used. However, the outcome is likely to 
| benefit the developer. With additional services and support behind them, 
| development teams can get to market faster with richer feature sets and 
| differentiation, while cutting costs significantly. Having a close 
| relationship with the open source vendor inspires collaboration and can 
| benefit the software developer community as a whole.

Linux Community Still Outraged by Novell Pact

,----[ Quote ]
| Leaders of the open source movement are at work on a legal strategy
| that could let Novell retain the benefits of the deal, while
| preventing Microsoft from using it to attack other open source firms.
| They're drafting a new version of the General Public License or GPL,
| the Free Software Foundation's legal rulebook, which governs how
| Linux and other open source code can be used.
