Open Source Forming a Dot Com Bubble?

sebFlyte writes "ZDNet is running an interesting look at the sudden upswing of investment in open source products and the ensuing debate as to whether the open source business model has given us a bubble (akin to the dot-com bubble) that is about to burst. The counter-argument is that the increase in investment is just the natural progression of a robust business model whose time has come. One point that few people, whatever their viewpoint, could disagree with is that the key to a financially successful open source project rests with the community, rather than just the technology."

Perhaps I should amend my sig with the caveat that I live in the U.S. where racism is indeed an issue of partisan politics and exists largely in this arena. My bad. In the 50's and 60's racism was more overt. Blacks were called n*ggers and told to sit in the back of the bus. Now blacks are called Uncle Tom's and chastised for not being in their proper place if they dare not ride the proper "bus." Explain to me the difference.
