That Gartner report is, obviously, quite pro-for-profit. According to the summary contributing to OSS is not allowed due to the requirement by law to be able to charge somebody for the made costs. The made costs are listed as (time spend on):
1) Making code readable. They agree that readable code has it's benefits either way. But making code readable for temporary solution is not. They forget the principle that nothing is more permanent than temporary solutions. 2) Performing security audits Security through obscurity reasons. 3) Community support You need to build and support a community which you need to control with an iron fist. Otherwise the community might go into a different direction. (i.e. fork your project). No mention that if you contribute back to OSS you don't need to curate a community. 4) Community support Basically the same reason. You need to spend time on processing community feedback (like bug reports/fixes).
They also fear reputation damage for low quality code:) Reputation damage, for a government... They should hide that the government in run on terrible code.
But what if the Government would pay a company to do all the above things? That's where the weird "unfair competition" comes to play. Requiring the work done to be made OSS is unfair to the companies which do not want to do that. (But now allowing small companies to bid on the tender isn't an issue)
No, because you are the creator of the photographic composition. If Honda wants to use that picture, for anything, they do need your permission. But Honda is free to create a similar composition.
This is now copyright law works. Just because one person has permission to publish does not mean every body has the right. Just check for possible licenses attached to the pictures. For example a CC-SA is explicit permission to republish. No explicit mention of license = no clear permission.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Rajesh Kandaswamy, an analyst at Gartner Inc
And this is why Gartner is full if it. They are part of the hype train. They are part of the constant annoyance of C*O to lower level employees to jump on the train and not address the real issues.
Configuring settings for groups is horrible. There are a whole bunch of settings, which do not really align with google's recommendations. And there is also no option to check if any of the groups which exist are readable from the "internet". You have to check every single group, and then 4 different sections, etc.
They cannot even agree on a standard exchange of status reports. Ignoring all other standards (like X12, RosettaNet, UBL,...), just looking at the logistics companies who use UN/EDIFACT IFTSTA messages to report a status. They all use it differently, in some cases even not even adhering to the standards as defined by the format.
What is the use of these numbers? Is there any meaningful conclusion you can take from this? Should I switch to Android because it has more apps in the store. Or should I switch to iOS because there is less old/crap in the store?
You think these upload filter proposals come from within the EU? They come from mostly US based multi nationals (which have a postbox in the EU to avoid taxes). If successful in the EU they will not stop and come after the USA. Censorship of the internet is a global problem even if only applied to part of the world.
Has it really been supported the past years? Just because something still works it doesn't mean it is still supported by the manufacturer. According to wikipedia: > On September 9, 2015, Apple officially classified the first generation Apple TV as being obsolete/vintage [..]
So support was ended over 2 years ago. And now they are changing their walled garden even more making the device which was still usable for that period to a paperweight.
I have never heard of a large scale production problem happening in a application written in brainfuck. So by that metric it is not really error prone.

I don't see any offerings from Citus Data which are open source.
India already has an Umbrella company: Tata
yes
What part of Apple technology did Steve Jobs develop again?

If this EU law passed you think you're safe in the US? The same actors will push for similar laws in other countries and cite the EU law as basis.

But does it know the length of the US Coastline?

We haven't done such a thing yet.

You mean human livestock, right?
It's 2018, we have SmartBricks now. You can change the software of your SmartBricks.

Google just has to buy EDB, make their Oracle compatibility layer OpenSource and part of PostgreSQL.
Natural selection wasn't working well for humans, so we had to help it a bit.
A lot of things can still be fixed manually via userChrome.css

Just imagine how much less secure it was when it was closed source.
Level of employment does not equal trustworthiness of employees. In fact, often the higher you go the worse they get.
