I keep seeing this posts by some of the manager types on planet MySQL
about how they or some other guy is worrying about open source vendors
not raking in billions or are not stealing billions of money out of
peoples pockets that should not be playing on the stock market and
things along those lines. While I do agree that its great to see open
source software flourish .. actually let me clear that up, why do I
even care if open source software flourishes? I care because I think
open source software enables a different kind of growth for society,
one that is shared, one that lowers barriers, one that I feel is more
in tune with a world at peace.
