I'll dive in. I just read this
http://business.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/04/05/2046210,
a timely article on NewsForge. The quote I feel adds
something to this discussion: "Legislating the use of
open source is a mistake," Villa said, "because it
takes away the ability to make a choice." OK, not
directly applicable, but appropriate, I think.
