Open source is entering into a mature phase. So mature that now we need to understand between different flavors of open source.

There are many flavors of open source. Some vendors push “professional” open source, some “commercial”, some call it “business hardened” and offcourse we have Microsoft’s shared source. Offcourse we are not getting away from the conventional proprietary license products. Diversity is good and market wins in the end. So we are going to celebrate this diversity.

Diversity of open source approach in some ways provides more innovation fodder to the marketplace.
