Sun Studio
Saturday July 22, 2006 I just read an article by Doc Searls at Linux Journal called Markets without Marketing. It is a really good, short, perspective on the changes that Open Source is bringing to the area of Big business and marketing. There are good lessons here for anyone trying to make a business out of free software.
Thanks for the pointer, Simon!
