IBM Exec Calls MS Arrogant On Open Source | |
|

IBM has called Microsoft's recent attacks on the open source business model "arrogance", blasting them as futile and counterproductive. In recent weeks, Microsoft executives have launched an all-out propaganda war against open source software, based on the GNU Public Licence (GPL). Open source allows free access to the programming code that makes up operating systems and applications, but also requires that any source code modifications also be made available. Microsoft's comments have branded open source as anti-American and destructive to intellectual property, but IBM, which has recently become an outspoken proponent of open source, says Microsoft is swimming against the tide. "Microsoft is trying to shore up its defenses as the tide is coming in," Adam Jollans, marketing manager for IBM Software for Linux in the European region. "They're trying to stop the tide, but the tide comes in whether you want it to or not." | ||
