The authors of this textbook on deploying Open Source as a business strategy can truly say been there, done that. They were working with Sun Microsystem’s Jini network technology in the early days of that project. The Sun Community Source License (SCSL) was just the beginning of their endeavors to build a community to help support the development and deployment required for Jini to succeed.
Ron Goldman and Richard P. Gabriel have worked on many of Sun’s open source projects and one of them founded the Common Lisp Group in 1981 and Lucid, Inc. They’ve turned what they learned into a textbook – Innovation Happens Elsewhere: Open Source as Business Strategy.
