Microsoft learning the benefits of open source ?
Open source is not about FREE (no money) software its about better software.
One of the main rule is multiple group, companies, individuals sharing an interest in one project.
They will all contribute to a componant or a core software that will benefits their product line.
If they are commercial companies they will compete on add-on features, user interfaces, integration or services but will all contribute back to the open source project.
Some will critique and say that only the GPL IS Open Source. I think the GPL is a great license and one of the main reason of the Open Source stability and current explosion.
But in the global software industry I see the GPL as an extreme license.
The GPL is to the open source what Microsoft is to the proprietary software.
