Weblog:   Proprietary Software to Open Source - Migration Approach
Subject:   The real reason behind going open source

While the modalities to convert from a closed to an Open source license maybe well understood, one wonders at the intent of closed source companies to open up. Will they follow the spirit of the Open Source without any conflict of interest? Are they embracing Open Source only to suffocate? Will the community trust them enough to support and adopt their products? It will be interesting to see how Gluecode, InnoDB etc. fare over time now that they have big corporate support.
