| Access to source code is the "primary motivating factor" in Linux adoption

| Chuang, however, cautioned against going open source for the sake of going
| open source.
|
| "I think open source for open source's sake has been useless," Chuang said.
|
| "Some companies have taken multimillion lines of operating system code and
| open-sourced it," he said, critically. Although sometime-BEA rival Sun
| Microsystems did this with its Solaris OS, Chuang said his comment was not
| specifically targeted at Sun. Others have done this as well, he said.

| In addition, the survey found that over 40% are now targeting Embedded Linux,
| almost twice as many as target the next leading RTOS’s.
|
| “Developers working with embedded systems really need access to the RTOS
| source code in order to optimize their applications efficiently,” said John
| Andrews, CEO of Evans Data. “This is one of the reasons that proprietary
| RTOS’s created in-house for a specific system have long been popular, and now
| it’s a primary motivating factor in the adoption of Embedded Linux.”
