Is open source software a business model, a philosophy or is it simply one more way to write software? Well, its all of these things but all too often open source gets split off into one of these three categories. Editorial contributor Monty Manley submited the following editorial to osViews which explains that open source software is simply what you make of it. No more. No less. I know perhaps twenty-five or thirty programmers personally; I'd count eight of them as friends. They are all programmers like myself: corporate IT folks whose daily lives are spent producing in-house apps. All of us use Windows NT as a development platform; the lingua franca is either Visual Basic or some variant of C++ (although Java is becoming more popular).
