“Despite open source’s promising business opportunities, its
potential goes only so far.”
“Just like the separation of church and state, a careful line
has to be drawn between commercial and open source. At the same

dollars and talent eventually will have to become trusted stewards
of the open-source development process–especially if this software
model expects to thrive in new, more robust markets, like app
servers and databases.”
