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. -- Ciao, Javier linux counter #393724 GPG Key Fingerprint = 46B76CFEDB0161089D9ECB22FEFDE7EBA8C2007E I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) --Linus Torvalds
