Apache's Java server delayed

Exactly...: OSS serves well for tech segments that:

a) are well established and should become commoditized - why should everyone build the same thing just to have their own version?

b) need more competition with a monopolist that dominates the segment

c) are foundational to next generation proprietary technology...in general, core technologies that could be developed as research, maybe in a university setting, then returned to the public (who helped pay for it) and incorporated into (potentially proprietary) product(s)...sound familiar?

All three of these free up resources to foster innovation.; Posted by: techboy_z Posted on: 07/26/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
