Newsforge: ZooLib's Green has philosophical approach to Open Source (Jan 28, 2001, 03:14)
"A commercial developer for years, he was first faced with the
concept of Open Source when his friend John Gilmore urged him to
release the source to NetPhone, the groundbreaking Internet phone
service Green and his first wife, Denise Myers, developed and
introduced in 1994-95. But like many newcomers to Open Source, he
struggled to reconcile the reality that the only thing funding the
development of NetPhone was NetPhone sales which, clearly, would be
greatly reduced should they open the code. Though they chose not
to, the idea sparked further investigation, and like Green is wont
to do, some philosophical thinking."
