Yahoo to buy Zimbra for $350 million; Eyes Google Office

New ZDNet Article Suggestion: I'd like to see ZDnet write an article exploring the pros and cons of buying FOSS software companies. With the recent purchase of XENsource by Citrix and now Zimbra by Yahoo, alot of questions are about to be raised as to the integrity and long-term strategies of these two products which have had some good successes so far in developing a quality product.

Is this new age of buying well-established FOSS companies a good thing or bad thing? How does this bode for the community which has contributed to the development of these products? Etc.; Posted by: yyuko@... Posted on: 09/17/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
