Sun’s continuing open source problem
,----[ Quote ]
| The problem for Sun is this must be a two-way commitment.
|
| When people read that Sun was even thinking of taking mySQL back, or listen
| to executives moan about the open source business model, it raises questions.
| Questions which all the blog posts in the world won’t answer.
|
| It comes back to the problem I discussed yesterday. If you’re focused on the
| gold you’re not focused on the straw. These commitments of time and energy
| are the straw.

On MySQL's About-Face: It's About Expectations
,----[ Quote ]
| The official word from Kaj Arnö of MySQL / Sun is out: Portions of MySQL that
| were originally being considered as closed-source components will now be open
| source as well. Good news, bad news, or none of the above? I take the third
| view. The real issue is, again, not open vs. closed code, but how you engage
| the open source community -- how you clue them in to what kind of company you
| are.

Not Free software, either.
Nice new video:
Open source challenging the incumbents: The video
,----[ Quote ]
| After three straight days of traveling to close my quarter, I needed to
| unwind tonight. Given that I don't drink or smoke crack, I chose to create a
| video: "The Challengers of Open Source." Cheesy title, but I had The New
| Pornographers' song ("Challengers") running through my head and car stereo on
| the drive home from the airport. So be it.
