Hola amigos,

buscando por ahi encontre un articulo de ibm que dice que ellos son
practicamente los padres del movimiento open source:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/newto/

"In a word, open source is collaboration. More specifically, it's
public collaboration on a software project. IBM has committed to open
source in a big way with contributions to more than 120 projects,
including more than $1 billion in Linux(r) development. According to
the Open Source Initiative (OSI), it can be defined this way: "Open
source promotes software reliability and quality by supporting
independent peer review and rapid evolution of source code. To be OSI
certified, the software must be distributed under a license that
guarantees the right to read, redistribute, modify, and use the
software freely."

What are IBM's open source efforts?

In a nutshell, IBM is a significant force supporting open source
innovation and collaboration. The company participates in more than
120 collaborative projects contributed to the open source community,
including Eclipse, Derby, Geronimo, and Globus.

IBM contributed 500 patents into a "patent commons" for development
and innovation. IBM has invested more than $1 billion in Linux
development. IBM drives the adoption of and migrations to Linux among
the development community, and expands enterprise-class tools for open
source developers."



queria compartirlo con ustedes, porque pienso que si hay algo que
atenta contra el movimiento open source, es precisamente las companias
como ibm.
