this is an interesting article to read if you are interested in the development of open source. As the article says "the movement highlights how much has changed from the days when the Apache project was started by a bunch of volunteer developers who build- and then gave away - the world's best Web server. ... open source projects increasingly started as a commercial enterprise, or morph quickly into one. "
Pity to see this. Maybe lack of business model to sustain open source is the key that we see this change. At the end of day, people need to eat, live, so just good wishes cannot survive.
