ZDNet: Open source in its boom phase

[url]http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=1420[/url]

"That's where we are in open source right now. Everybody wants to get
into the act. Everyone wants to say they're open source, even if
they're not, because that's where the money is, or where they perceive
the money's going.

Sitting on a park bench and shaking your fist at those crazy kids
won't change anything. It's what gold rushes look like. Two years ago
it was housing, and before that it was defense stocks. When I first
started as a business reporter, in Houston in the 1970s, it was oil."
