What Business Can Learn from Open Source
This is just a sample of the content found on this website. Please visit the website to read the entire page.
"August 2005 (This essay is derived from a talk at Oscon 2005.) Lately companies have been paying more attention to open source.
Ten years ago there seemed a real danger Microsoft would extend its
monopoly to servers. It seems safe to say now that open source has
prevented that. A recent survey found 52% of companies are replacing

or collaborate on projects. Amateurs I think the most important of the new principles business has to learn is
that people work a lot harder on stuff they like. Well, that's
