Open Source is Big Business

But it is big in a special way, that most people cannot understand.

I looked up Red Hat on Wikipedia, this morning as I was having my breakfast and coffee. It was a long read.

The amount of money being swapped around there amazed me, Open Source is idealistic, almost to an extreme. They want to make a better world, by making better people! But at the same, they are making lots of money. 

This is possible in Software. Microsoft, for example, has produced an open-source version of its .NET software framework. And Software Developers are gobbling it up, much to Microsoft's delight!

I hardly need to tell you this is something new in the world of Business.
