hi,
mixed blessing I doubt.
what we are seeing is the old age proprietory
corparations trying to surive.Corparations do __need__
to make a few bucks.
Open Source or Properietory,the bottom line is how
much profit you are making.Red Hat is not!
So a big player comes around the corner with a user
based now looking for open source and guess what
happens next .....
cheers
