Apache is one of the true success stories of Open Source. It is the dominant web servers, and has encouraged the creation and enhancement several other Open Source projects like lighttpd to address gaps that Apache did not address fully.


A shining beacon!

@ George, yes what's really surprising is how Apache has continued to launch and oversee successful satellite projects. The web server is hardly the whole story.
