MicroHoo: Good or Bad for Open Source? - Community - ComputerworldUK

"How these positives and negatives work out in practice will emerge in due course. Meanwhile, one thing is certain: the big loser in this deal is neither Microsoft nor open source, but Yahoo, which has effectively become a media company, leaving the Internet technology side in Microsoft's hands. In that respect, it's a sad day for everyone that cares about the past, present and future of the online world."

Red Hat: 'We spend over $100 million a year to advance Linux' | The Open Road - CNET News

"I used to complain that the Web companies pick and choose where to contribute back, but it all seems to work out in the end. Yahoo works on Hadoop while Red Hat releases KVM while Google releases Gears while...you get the picture. Different companies releasing and "free-riding" on different open-source code, with the entire industry growing and benefiting in the process."

Why did Microsoft really release open-source code?

"Regardless of whether Microsoft did violate the GPL, or whether it did release the code to avoid a lawsuit, Microsoft should have been more forthright in its announcement and told the whole story, Cherry said. He said the move "casts doubt" on Microsoft's motives in the open-source arena. Perhaps it casts doubt on Microsoft's credibility in general.

Google Open Sources Heart and Soul of Google Wave Code

Google July 24 said it released to open source the OT (Operational Transform) code, the framework that enables multiple people to edit a single document in real time across a wide-area network, as well as a basic client/server prototype that uses the wave protocol. Google Wave programmers issued the code under an Apache 2.0 license during an event hosted for 150 developers who desired a deeper dive into the software and possibly even to pony up code for the Google Wave Federation Protocol.

Matt Mullenweg And Dries Buytaert Probably Separated At Birth - David Berlind's Tech Radar - InformationWeek

"When it comes to open sourced content management platforms and their creators, there's no question about the celebrity status that WordPress and its young founder Matt Mullenweg have ascended to. If offered an opportunity to interview Mullenweg about some news, I'd undoubtedly jump on it. But when I was offered the chance to do the same with Dries Buytaert, my initial response was "Dries who?" Once I realized "Dries, the creator of Drupal," I didn't hesitate (podcast below)."
