"Open Source Scales Better Than Proprietary, The Cloud Needs Massive Scale to Succeed, Therefore the Cloud Needs Open Source...
Think about it. Would Microsoft and Oracle or Microsoft and Sun before Oracle, both work on the same software project knowing it would help the other? Not likely to happen. So for me what is fueling the great scalability of open source software is not an inherent advantage in the process or the amount of developers working it. It is the fact that it has given companies that otherwise would not collaborate on code together the chance to do so. I think that is the secret sauce of open source."
