The bulk of this article relates remarks by IBM's Bill Zeitler on the economics of open source - "The same thing is happening in Life Sciences. Structural Bioinformatics, for instance, uses Linux to model the 3D structures of proteins. Linux has reduced their cost per calculation from $28 to $1" - and the evolution of open source as a global movement. Note also the opening remarks by CANARIE's Bill St. Arnaud: "The next big challenge will be to move from open source to open content. Will the content industry eventually come to a similar realization that maybe the free and open distribution of knowledge will have a similar impact on their industry?"CRLFCRLFCRLFCRLF
