summary
Argues that software defines product value so companies must master open source rather than just consume it, citing Microsoft supporting Linux in its cloud and VMware spending about $1 billion to acquire a company tied to OpenStack and applying to join OpenStack. Notes surprising specifics: Apple buys the printing subsystem—purchase of CUPS—taking the copyright and continuing public development, and that open source collaboration builds the cloud and differentiates otherwise identical devices.
