| "Open source can give you a common operating platform for real, and if you
| use Linux as a leveler, the individual ships will all right themselves rather
| than colliding into one another," he said, pointing to the fact that even
| Microsoft submitted two of its licenses to the OSI for approval, although as
| a company it remains ambivalent toward open source.
|
| Tiemann also defended the recently released update to the GNU GPL (General
| Public License), pointing out that that OSI and Free Software Foundation
| agreed more than they disagreed.

| generation; to the second generation of application and departmental servers;
| to the third generation of enterprise, mission-critical roles, which is
| expected to account for 20 percent of server revenue in 2009 versus 15
| percent in 2006-2007, Weiss said.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
