Open Source "State of the Union" address
I belive that with all the problems "we" open-source face, as so well exposed, as usual, by Bruce, a compromise is vital to survival...
Open-Source now has enough "momentum" to negotiate between its burocratic institutions FSF, Open-source, OSAIA, the drawing of clear frontiers, that separate the developing world from the commercial world, and their patents and closed hardware information and publicity...
I've no love neither for IBM, HP, SUN or RED HAT, they need "volunteer Open-Source developers" as much those developers need them for finance and protection, but that not without clear rules that not beneficiates no big or small entreprise as does not beneficate well known and newbes developers.
This can only make politics and publicity, a world outside the traditional BSD, GNU and Linux ones.
