Open Source Means Business

,----[ Quote ]
| Everything around us is choking up: Credit, equity investments, mergers and 
| acquisitions, initial public offerings. The slowdown is strangling 
| innovation, and it is suffocating entrepreneurship.  
| 
| But some entrepreneurs have found ways to build their companies on a 
| shoestring using open source software, and they have figured out how to make 
| money off something generally considered free.  
| 
| Take Brian Behlendorf, an open source pioneer who recounts those early 
| days. "The term 'free software' made it sound like an anti-capitalist 
| movement, yet the reality is we were hardcore capitalists," he says. "We 
| liked a lot of the attributes of that type of software and felt a rebranding 
| effort was needed. That is when the term 'open source' was coined."
