    Interesting that these strategies only seem to work for gigantisaurs like IBM, Sun, and Oracle. If you have the money (made from selling proprietary software for years) to throw at it hand over fist, you apparently can eventually make some money with open source.

    Little guy gets cornholed as usual though.
