Smalley's Musings

Can Open Source Stay Open?

“Tim O'Reilly says the title of this program is misleading. "The real question we want to ask and answer here is: What is the relationship of open source to this whole idea of Web 2.0." Thus begins a provocative Q&A with O'Reilly, Mitchell Baker, and Jonathan Schwartz.
The wide-ranging discussion covers how the collision between open source software and Web 2.0 is changing the economics of computer, software, and internet businesses. The decline of tight, centralized control over software and computing resources is producing a surge in innovation as new ideas are released, tested, and improved rapidly by the avid communities surrounding new web and desktop applications.”
