Commentary: IBM's open-source stance (News.com)

[Posted January 22, 2003 by corbet]

News.com is carrying a Forrester Research pronouncement on IBM's open source strategy. "IBM has earned the trust of the open source community. As vendors like HP and Sun step up their involvement, the risk that hypercompetitive IBMers will overstep the community boundaries increases. IBM can't let that happen. It must maintain the trust by keeping its agenda in its proper, democratic place."
