Open Source In Action

Interesting news about CD02 using Sun Grid to offer financial analysis as a service here - it's not just Sun then. People are constantly asking about how to make money from open source, yet here's an example and open source isn't even mentioned. The platform - Grid Engine running on Solaris - is an open source platform, so this system validates the open source investments and makes money from it. That money then pays for engineers to contribute more expertise to the respective open source communities, creating more innovation and increasing the opportunity for everyone to succeed more. The virtuous cycle at work again.
