[Press] "Nuxeo vs. Alfresco, How Do You Like Your OSS?", CMSWire

The next time you see the phrase “open source” used in association with some software, be advised that you’ll need to take that claim with a grain of salt. This was a statement made last November by ZDNet blogger David Berlind.

As the concept of Professional Open Source gains momentum and more vendors jump on this boat, its becoming increasingly important to have some reliable indicators of what a real open source effort looks like.

ZDNet’s Berlind focused on the licensing aspect and the many non-OSI-sanctioned derivatives of OSI-sanctioned licenses.

In a recent post, blogger Dion Almaer rightly suggests that there is more to open source software than the license or the availability of source code.
