Open source cloud databases battle software ‘strip mining'
Cloud giants like AWS have adopted open source databases, causing Confluent, MongoDB and others to guard their assets the best way they know how: licensing.
“There is a new and unique dynamic with public cloud providers, particularly AWS, who take open source software and sell it as a service, often without contributing much of anything back to the community. There is even a name given to this: strip mining.”
Open standards can disrupt Facebook’s messaging monopoly
Facebook’s messaging services . . . run on closed standards and don’t play nice with platforms created by third parties.
Is there a way out? Pranesh Prakash – a Fellow at the Center for Internet and Society, as well as a Fellow at the New America think tank – believes that the answer lies not in breaking up Facebook over privacy laws, but in competition, and regulators at the government level should demand Facebook use open standards for its messaging platforms.

Assessing the economic impact and business models of open source
If you combine IBM's acquisition with Microsoft's buyout of GitHub last year, at the very least you could say that the open source game is changing. These events communicate an increasing interest from the enterprise space in open source technologies as bankable prospects, with big tech companies willing to drop serious cash to boost their name in the field and amongst communities. Also, it is for this reason – amongst others – that it has a decent amount of potential as a driver of the digital economy going forward.
Registration required, not recommended. Just know that open source is becoming VERY profitable and will ultimately destroy Amazon, Facebook, IBM, Google, MeetUp, Microsoft, Oracle, and Twitter, among others.

Robert Steele: Plans for Displacement of #GoogleGestapo UPDATE 2
Well worth a look. Valuable, but also misses a lot of stuff — in kind investments in start ups, most recent deals, and “partners” under various “inducement” guises….and nothing on the CIA and DoD deals which will destroy the entire existing ecology of vendors that now “own” the US Government.
Open source has a problem with monetization, not AWS
Open sourcerors keep wrongly trying to blame AWS for their inability to effectively monetize open source software.
We have come a long, long way since open source really started to take off in the 2000s. Except, sadly, in how we monetize open source—that model is stuck in the 1980s.
…the real money is in offering services at scale AND in sufficient breadth that enterprises don't need a separate platform for each piece of software they'd like to use.
Exterminating the Goyim is Basis of the Cabala
I urge you to read Ted Pike's Israel: Our Duty…Our Dilemma (1984) to fully understand the danger in which humanity finds itself today. The essential teaching of Judaism's most holy book, the Cabala, is that non-Jews form an impediment to progress and must be subjugated or exterminated. This ideology probably explains much of mankind's tragic history and impending doom.
The “antisemitism” smear diverts attention from the grim reality – the hate actually emanates from Cabalist Jews and their Freemason agents in the form of a simultaneous attack on our gender, racial, religious and national identity.
Open Source Software At A Crossroads
Over the years we’ve seen different approaches to monetizing open source, and we have examples of them all in the past year’s exits:
