Good article by @baldur on changes in open-source. One nitpick: Sun's incredibly successful entry into the workstation market was based on an "open systems" proposition, long before there was the web. It was its secret sauce at the time where everything else was indeed closed.
@J12t @baldur This is a really interesting read, especially because I just finished "The Open Source Licensing War is Over" by Matt Asay, in which they argue that the terms of licensing and "open source" don't matter nearly as much as developer ease of access.
However, I suspect that will soon change. IMO the "war" is not over, but rather in an uneasy cease-fire. Open source software made the modern web possible.
