- How real are the 451 findings?
- Dan Farber is featuring news of another 451 Group study showing that open source is "just about" to take over the system management business.As Yogi Berra once said, "it's deja vu all over again."I have been giving, and getting, this prediction since I first joined ZDNet almost three years ago....

- WHurley spins BMC into open source
- William Hurley, who goes by WHurley, has been an open source advocate and organizer for many years.When he left Qlusters recently for BMC Software, the Houston-based company which began with accounting software and grew like a snip of oilpatch, I wondered how far he could spin that company toward open source.The...

- Sugar sweet for GPLv3
- The big news today is that SugarCRM has bowed to community pressure and will release the next version of its CRM software under an OSI-approved license.The bigger news may be the identity of the license, GPLv3.Currently Sugar uses a version of the Mozilla Public License, adding a non-standard "attribution" requirement...

- Optaros EOS will take the licensing question seriously
- Optaros has launched its Enterprise Open Source Directory.It is a very good thing, better than a plate of Martha Stewart bran muffins. That is partly because it has listing criteria, including only those projects which are truly enterprise class.But in doing this it also includes projects like SugarCRM whose open...

- Does open source make business decisions political?
- Of all the relationships changed by open source, perhaps the most nagging is that between business and politics.There's another taste of that in today's news, word the BBC is looking to make an open source version of its iPlayer.The BBC had made a business decision to work with Microsoft in...

- VARs still have Long Reach in small business market
- In the real world of small business, costs matter more than license terms.These are Michael Whitehead's customers at The Long Reach in Ottawa, Canada."All businesses really care is can I get something that's cost effective, which does the job, which is priced to suit my business, and do I have someone...

- BBC takes political hits for rejecting open source
- The BBC wants to put its shows on the Web, and made a deal with Microsoft for the technology required to do that. (That's the Tardis, from Dr. Who, one of many fine BBC programs.)This has the BBC in political hot water. Boingboing says it's a DRM issue, but the country's Open...

- Distance makes the switch go quicker
- Which is a better sign of open source progress: Microsoft is changing Vista, based on a Google complaint. A major British retail chain switches to RedHat Linux.I think it's the latter. Because in all our talk about desktop Linux' market share, we're focusing on the wrong people.While most reporters, and most commenters,...

- Case studies in an open source world
- The folks at Liferay gave me a singular honor yesterday.They put me in touch with Ron Cash.Cash is one of the heroes. As Tim Duncan is to a sportswriter, or Hillary Clinton is to a political writer, so folks like Cash are to me. He manages computer systems for Colorado state government, specifically for the...

- How far can open source CRM get?
- News that CentricCRM is getting a capital infusion from Intel Capital leads again to the inevitable question, how far can open source get in the CRM market?It's a tough road.

- Doubt no more than mySQL is enterprise class
- One of the first topics I covered extensively here was the question of mySQL being enterprise-class.The open source database based in Finland started from nothing, and the argument against it has always been that it lacks the features and functionality enterprises need, that it's three, or two, or at least...

- The era of big software is over
- When Bill Clinton said a decade ago that "the era of big government is over," it turns out he was a big premature.But now with Web 2.0, SOA and web services, it may be true that "the era of big software is over."Bill St. Arnaud (right, from his blog) meditated...

- aQuantive is not a Microsoft open source play
- Writer Rodney Gedda at Computerworld writes that aQuantive, the online ad agency Microsoft is buying for $6 billion, is an open source play.The reason? Many aQuantive units, including AvenueA Razorfish and Atlas, make extensive use of open source software, including mySQL, Linux, and Apache.If you use open source, are you...

- What's the best defense for open source?
- The OSBC is in San Francisco this week, worrying over defending against Microsoft patent claims.Our own Ed Burnette was intrigued by hints in Jonathan Schwartz' blog this week that Sun Microsystems might help defend Ubuntu and Red Hat, if push came to shove.Interesting given that Sun isn't even a member...

- Gartner denies Sugar some love
- The freedom to modify code is as important as any other freedom offered by open source, according to a new note from Gartner Group.In a thinly veiled attack on SugarCRM and its "attribution license," Brian Prentice and Mark Driver advised clients to find their own definition of open source and...

- Survey says, open source becomes mission critical
- I have a natural skepticism when it comes to commissioned research. So take this with a grain of salt, despite its ring of truth.A Forrester survey for Unisys shows over half of large enterprises now use open source for mission critical operations. Four out of five (79%) use it in...

- The big problem Red Hat Exchange Does Not Solve
- I call it the "One Guy Problem."Every small to medium sized business has one guy who acts as the system gatekeeper. Often its a re-seller. Sometimes its an insider, the one-man IT department. Sometimes, worst case scenario, its the boss himself. (Yes, sometimes its a woman, but not usually.)This one...

- How good an open source citizen can Oracle become?
- The answer is, not very. (Picture from Tigerpaws.org.)This is not to disparage their entry to the board of Eclipse. Nor their donation of TopLink code. Not to mention all their other contributions to open source projects, and contributions by employees, which have indeed been both welcome and sizable.But at the...
