I think this piece I wrote a while ago would still accurately describe my point of view: <a href="http://saunderslog.com/technology/to-open-source-or-not/" rel="nofollow">http://saunderslog.com/technology/to-open-source-...</a> When there are good open source projects like Eclipse, Asterisk, Apache, Linux, etc out there, I don't see anything wrong with using them so long as the licensing terms allow you accomplish your business goals. Many of the criticisms which have been levelled at Open Source are not factually grounded, in my opinion, but the licensing criticism can be. I hesitate to tell you what to do at Eclipse because it's a project I am not very close to. I certainly found Mike's talk compelling though. Hey Ellen,
