How we won the open source battle
Recently the news about the inevitability of open source has been everywhere. Just today I exchanged tweets with Matt after he blogged:
"Indeed....open source has won.".
Seeing that I've always advocated the happy balance of open source and traditional software used in conjunction to address customer needs, news about A winning over B is somewhat hard to accept.
When I pressed Matt on what he meant by "open source has won," he replied:
"Won in the sense that 5 years ago no one, including IBM, would have thought it would be a part of all software."
Well, IBM was ahead of the game in terms of contributing to and using open source within its products.
