Autodesk Embracing Open Source

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday November 28, 2005 @09:47AM from the fun-with-snowball-effects dept.

Seba writes to tell us that Autodesk appears to be embracing open source with the recent donation of their web mapping technology to the open source community. From the article: "A snapshot of the MapServer Enterprise source code is available today through the new MapServer Foundation, an independent non- profit organization with the mission of supporting and promoting open source web mapping. The foundation's charter members include MapServer Technical Steering Committee members, the University of Minnesota MapServer Project, the DM Solutions Group, and Autodesk."

The next person to mention open source is going get a can of whop-ass opened up on them

So, is the act of opening the can of whoop-ass what results in an ass-kicking? Or is it the
contents of the can of whoop-ass?

For example, is it better to say, "Time to open a can of whoop-ass", or "Time to open a can of whoop-ass on you"?
