eWeek: CA Moves with New Open-Source Licensing for Content, Database Projects. This article has some dangerous flaws. Proprietary/open source dual-licensing can be done with the GPL; just look at MySQL. (I see the Plone Foundation themselves are fighting this bad reporting.) Also, Apache is not dual-licensed and IBM could have used it just as easily if it wasn't owned by the ASF, because the Apache License is so permissive. (Also, companies that create gratuitous new open source licenses are not on the Cluetrain, but at least it's not dangerous.)

About a month ago, Microsoft posted some of its source code to SourceForge. SourceForge is a, if not the, major distribution point for open source software. Microsoft's code was put there under the terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification, addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and privileges that we associate with open source software.

The natural complement to W3C specifications is running code. Implementation and testing is an essential part of specification development and releasing the code promotes exchange of ideas in the developer community. All W3C software is Open Source / Free Software, and GPL compatible. See the lice nse for details (and the following if you intend to contribute). Note that as this license is GPL compatible, it is possible to redistribute software based on W3C sources under a GPL license.

As an occasional user of Linux, and someone in the software industry, I've followed the "Open Source" movement for quite some time. To a minority, Open Source Software (specifically GPL licensed Open Source Software) represents an ideological and sociological movement, something that will change the world. To the majority, it is simply a way to get cool and useful software without going through the expense of buying, or the hassle of pirating it.

Free software and Open Source: The freedom Debate and Its Consequences By Mathias Klang
ht tp://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_3/klang/index.html

Abstract:
To most outsiders the ethics of software is not something usually considered. To most proficient computer users with a passing interest in this question the ethics of software is recognised as one of the fundamental questions in the digital rights area. To most of the latter, terms such as free software, open source, and their derivatives (FLOSS, FOSS, Software Freedom) are interchangeable. Choosing one over the other is a matter of taste rather than politics. However, to most insiders the
question is not one of taste. There is a fundamental difference between the two areas even if they share a similar root. Free software is not the same as open source. The two groups differ in their fundamental philosophical approach to software and its importance to society as a whole. This paper examines the two groups’ differing philosophies and explores how their actions have affected software development, access to fundamental software infrastructure, and the development of the concept of freedom.

That is so beautiful.

And watch Doc's IT Garage for more goings on in this area. It's time to cash in and kick the old school - out. I guess the next scene is Portland Aug. 1-4 at OSCON.
