Open Source Nonprofit Software

In the latest jab at Microsoft, even the Wall Street Journal is joining the chorus. Columnist Lee Gomes called on Microsoft to open source Windows 7, the rumored successor to the much-maligned Windows Vista.

Microsoft has historically ignored calls to open source its flagship OS, seeing open source as a threat to its existing proprietary business model. According to Gomes’ analysis, however, there is actually little conflict between an open source project and Microsoft’s proprietary system. All that open sourcing would do, says Gomes, is allow Windows users to “open up the hood and see what was underneath.”
