LWN: Open Source: the Basis for Web Applications

“The german magazine Computerwoche published an interview with
Open Source advocate Tim O’Reilly. The original german version of
the interview can be found on their Webserver. Thanks to
Computerwoche for granting permission to run this translation.”

“CW: What associations do you have when you hear “Open
Source”?”

“What most people will associate with Open Source is Linux but
one of the things I have worked for, is to make people aware that
OS (open source) is bigger than Linux and that it has a bigger
influence. So, just as one can say that the internet is a network
of networks, I think the OS community is a community of
communities.”
