Source for the goose should be source for the gander

,----[ Quote ]
| Jamie Boyle’s sensible defence of open-source software starts in a disarming 
| way, by suggesting that the Federal Circuit’s decision in Jacobsen v Katzer, 
| which upheld the validity of an open-source copyright claim, was one of those 
| dry-as-dust decisions that only intellectual property geeks could love. But, 
| as he quickly points out, the decision is not just about model trains and the 
| computer systems that control them. It is rather about the ways in which new 
| technology is distributed from their creators to, well, just about everyone 
| else.

LYNX Services Sees Claims Clearly With Ingres Open Source

,----[ Quote ]
| In a business that relies on shattered glass, the one thing LYNX Services 
| knew it needed was a database that was virtually unbreakable. That is why 
| LYNX Services, the market leader in auto glass claims management, adopted the 
| open source version of Ingres Database to process auto glass claims for their 
| clients. Ingres Corporation, a leading provider of open source database 
| management software and support services, provides high availability, quick 
| transactional processing, and an easy deployment language that helps LYNX 
| Services manage more than 3 million claims annually.

Lessons of the Linux revolution

,----[ Quote ]
| By the time Sun gave up and converted Solaris to an open-source model, a
| large share of the server market had already switched to Linux.
|
| It took the backing of IBM to turn Linux into a piece of software that
| companies were prepared to base their core information technology systems on.
| Similarly, Google's backing could help turn Linux into a more serious
| competitor in mobile.
