This 'commitment' is poisoned gezegde

 This 'commitment' is poisoned - they do it in a way that worsens the situation for free software: because that source code is under Microsoft copyright, developers who have seen the source code cannot re-implement it in Free Software for fear of copyright violation.

 Gnash is GPL2'd, and the Free Software Foundation has the copyright. So the standalone player can be used by anyone, but the Flash player code can only be used by other free software projects under the terms of the GPL.

 Now that the source code is available as open source, it means that you can use, read and modify the software in line with your own preferences. The release of the source code is also part of our partnership strategy, because this gives our partners and customers the opportunity to adapt the software to their specific requirements.

 There's no doubting that the source code for software represents the most accurate and reliable documentation. [However,] source code is of little practical benefit to those trying to develop interoperable code – there is simply too much of it, and it's too hard to understand.

 The EU wants licensed code to be available for use in open-source and free software, a request Microsoft has resisted. I would be shocked if that position has significantly changed.

 Leaving aside the copyright issue, the source code is simply not needed.

 Open source users may not think through [operations and maintenance] to make sure they have the right support services. We're talking about enterprise-class software implementations. Any good CIO will want to make sure the software they're using is well supported, whether it's open-source or commercial code.

 Microsoft didn't say how much source code would be licensed. Contrary to some news reports, I expect the amount of source code to be fairly limited.

 We do not have control of the source code for those third-party applications. Microsoft is very sensitive about releasing source code. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to gain access to that information.

 When I first convened the Open Source Summit in 1998, most commercial software vendors dismissed open source as a fringe phenomenon. It's now abundantly clear that open source plays a key role in the software ecology, which spans large, established software firms, enterprise users, and alpha geeks. Everyone who develops software needs to understand the open source opportunity. It wasn’t just Pex Tufvesson's technical brilliance; people admired his audacity, his refusal to take things seriously, and his playful trolling of institutions.

 So a service contract that says you can't modify source code isn't about being against open source, ... It's about saying 'Hey, I want to be able to deliver to you additional value, and if I send you a patch automatically and you change the source code, it may blow up your computer.'

 Open source is not free. You may not have to pay for the code, but it doesn't free you from having to exercise your brain and do whatever integration is required. If you don't think about maintenance, operation and integration costs, you may put zero dollars in your budget for an open-source project and then wonder why you're eating through money so quickly.

 To put this issue to rest we are announcing today that we are also licensing the Windows source code itself, so that anyone who licenses the [communications protocol] code will also have access to the Windows source code.

 It appears that whoever wrote Zotob had access to the Mytob source code, ripped out the email-spreading section, and plugged in the Microsoft exploit. It's possible that several people have access to the Mytob source code - so it may not be the last we see of this Internet scourge.

 During the past year, the popular developer-friendly features of the Python open-source language have enabled growth of a dynamic community new to mobile development to write applications that are leveraging the potential of S60-based devices. Now, Nokia is extending its commitment to open-source software initiatives and hopes that its contribution of source code back to the Python developer community will drive further enthusiasm and innovations in the development of leading-edge open-source mobile solutions for the rapidly expanding smart-phone market worldwide.
