There has been a lot of open source chatter recently. Is it good. Is it bad. What does it even mean to be open source. Etc.
A couple of interesting tid bits:
Coming out of the open source closet
Norman Richards of JBoss talks about the critique that JBoss is not Open Source. I can understand why Norman is frustrated. You can have issues with JBoss, Inc., and you can have issues with LGPL, but JBoss is a FORM of open source.

Open source injustice – a new gripe
Mike Keith of Oracle (TOPLink… or HOPLink) has a gripe.
He feels that there is an injustice in how tollerant people are to hear about a product pitch for a vendor, versus a product pitch for open source.
I agree. A product pitch is a product pitch. :)
