GNU Automake tops reuse survey
,----[ Quote ]
| That explains why GNU Automake is so popular: It automatically generates Make
| files for compilation of a software project. In a world where Linux is not
| the standard and not everyone who compiles binaries is a programmer, GNU
| Automake can simplify builds for end users. GNU Automake is written in Perl.

Open Source Study Reveals High Level of Code Reuse
,----[ Quote ]
| An analysis of 1,311 open source projects revealed that open source
| developers reused code from those projects in other projects more than
| 365,000 times, saving the open source community over 316,000 staff years and
| tens of billions of dollars in development costs. The study conducted by
| Black Duck Software, a provider of products and services for accelerating
| software development through the managed use of open source software (OSS),
| points to the dramatic efficiencies and cost savings of open source code
| reuse.

Open source at the business end
,----[ Quote ]
| Actor Stephen Fry's support of Twitter has been credited with pushing the
| micro-blogging tool into the mainstream. But his support for all things open
| source has been equally impassioned, and Fry recently singled out the company
| that hosts his podcasts for its dedication to open source. "My thanks as
| always go to the team at The Positive Internet Company. For 10 years they
| have used only free and open-source technologies like GNU Linux in their
| organisation," Fry said.

| Q: Stephen Fry has said nice things about your devotion to open source and
| your expertise in hosting — how did that relationship come about?
| A: With Stephen Fry there was an interesting osmosis between him and us and
| free software. His people liked our use of free software and had also heard
| good things about us through word of mouth and how we had done things for
| Ricky [Gervais]. Subsequently Stephen Fry has become a big fan of free
| software and in fact he recorded a birthday video for the GNU Project.
