Gimme Credit, Gimme Fixes, Gimme it ALL!
My colleague, Simon Phipps, Sun's Open Source Officer, has just released a short paper describing the advantages and disadvantages of the various open source licences which he groups into three main groups neatly summarised as "Gimme Credit, Gimme Fixes, Gimme it ALL! ". Having done this he is able to lay out the different reasons people participate in Open Source projects, and some guiding principles for Sun in this area.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
