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.""
