The San Diego Union-Tribune interviews Tim O'Reilly

[Posted July 22, 2002 by cook]

The San Diego Union-Tribune has interviewed Tim O'Reilly, CEO of O'Reilly and Associates on the topic of open-source software. "What open-source software is really about is an expression of the desire to keep power in the hands of the public, as opposed to the hands of private companies. We see in the news about Enron and one corporate scandal after another that there's a whole "me first" culture in corporate America. Open source represents the countervailing attitude. It's, "Let's do some things for the public good.""
