A socialist-corporate trend is developing.

[CyricZ]

We are seeing a very socialist-corporate trend developing in the open source world. Projects that were developed by the community for the shared, collective benefit of the community are now getting involved with corporate shenanigans. Between this Mambo spat and the recently announced Mozilla Corporation, and Linus' trademark licensing of Linux, we are seeing a very real trend developing.

Now, the real question is: is this good for the community? At this point, it is difficult to tell. What may be benign at this point may become very chilling in the near future, especially if intellectual property rights start geting involved.
