2005 a "watershed for open source"

Filed under: Business, Linux, Mozilla, Red Hat, Open Source

BusinessWeek is running an article called A Watershed for Open Source, which identifies 2005 as a big year-perhaps the biggest yet-for open source. The article says that 87% of businesses are using now using open source software in some capacity, though for having polled "a dozen experts, investors, early adopters, and entrepreneurs," their round-up of the biggest open source headlines of  '05 is surprisingly short. On the list? Red Hat's profits, Sun's open source moves, Motorola and mobile Linux, VCs banking on open source, and, of course, Firefox.
