What does the Internet look like ? It made remember the workshops I taught way back in 1993 for arts people about Internet literacy - the web was just getting started.

I had a brief conversation by email with Cory Doctorow , a science fiction author who is also a copyleft activist, who releases everything he writes with a CC license. He suggested, basically, find the publisher first, then talk about the license second. I did a webinar for NTEN on it – ReadyTalk worked just fine.

They expect to make up the difference in revenue that they got from licenses from services sold to a greater number of organizations that would not have been customers otherwise.

In fact, pretty much every open source project that has gone commercial, or had a change in license, caused a fork, pretty much killing the original (like Mambo, or XFree86.) They have had an active user community, many of which, I imagine, are going elsewhere.

Facebook is an ever growing force in the internet space and it looks like it will be for a while.

But I’m sure that their services pricing has been adjusted to account for loss of licensing revenue. Without the s/w to install it (and strongly suspecting that doing so just to “check it out&# is a waste of time), I have to believe that their goal here is to get clients to buy services. Which is fine. 2 Tompkins Spann 03.21.08

It would not be as cost-effective (and thus, not produce as much profit) if these SaaS developers had to pay license fees for the software they use (besides the fact that these are the most stable and robust platforms to build upon.)

Just threatening to sue, threatening to get license fees (which, for some open source projects would be a major problem) is enough to make people doubt the future of open source.
