The European Commission's Open Source-Friendly Stance Draws Fire

The European Commission is out with a white paper, downloadable as a PDF here, that calls for much broader and more standardized adoption of open source software across Europe. As IDG News Service notes, the white paper is getting both positive and negative reactions because of the bias it shows toward open source software. Jonathan Zuck, President of the Association for Competitive Technology, says in a statement: It aims to facilitate digital cooperation among European administrations, but in effect it excludes many well-established technologies from being used for e-Government services due to a narrow definition of open standards. This will hurt first and foremost innovative tech start-ups that rely on patent protection to establish themselves in the marketplace. Will it?


Open Source Channel Alliance Gives Resellers All-in-One Access to Open Source Apps

While frugality isn't by any means the only reason a business should consider open source software, it would be foolish to think that the current economic situation isn't making it more attractive to companies. There is often, however, an imposing barrier standing in the way of all-out adoption. The mythical learning curve involved in moving to open source isn't half so steep or intimidating as that first step -- where do we go, what applications are best for us, and how do we put it all together and make it all work?

This week, Red Hat and IT services distribution provider, SYNNEX, announced the formation of the Open Source Channel Alliance. The Alliance's aim is to help value-added resellers and solutions providers deliver all the benefits of open source applications to their customers.

Open Source Business: Model or Tactic?

Red Hat logoReadWriteWeb points readers to a report released by the 451 Group stating that open source is not a true business model, but more of a business tactic.

Traditionally, the open source business model is perceived as free/open software, with paid support and configuration services. The report found, however, that many of the responding open source businesses incorporate some commercially licensed software in their product line. It also found that the paid support/free software idea -- while theoretically, at least, valid -- is multi-layered, complex, and highly variable between software product, software company, and industry.
