Consolidation and Virtualization Are NOT Enough: The Case for Non-x86
They are aware that GPL forces the users of the package to also GPL their product, and so ... you need to provide a dual license model if you want to get any users that wouldn't want to publish their code ? And I'm pretty sure that this is the case with a very big percent of the users.
IANAL, but AFAIK the GPL doesn't force you to give your source code to your client, unless you deliver binaries to them. Ie. if you only create a website, or your service is exposed trough HTTP (HTTPS hopefully), you don't need to give your clients the source code. This is true for both GPLv2 and GPLv3.
There is a variation of the GPL called the AGPL (AGPLv2 and AGPLv3 more precisely), which does make it obligatory to deliver source code, even if you only expose your software trough a network service, but it is not as widely used as GPL.
There is another similar project called Apache Cassandra. Its still in the incubator. It offers the same BigTable like data model and uses the same Eventually Consistent model from Amazon's Dynamo. It is Apache licensed, which makes life much simpler for most people consuming it.

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
