Recently I listened to a Linux Action show! Podcast where a listener sent an email in which he states that even though Adobe’s “dipping their toes” into open source waters, they are never going to be a part of the community.

I agree with Chris and Brian when they say spitting at Adobe for trying to open-source a part of their software (I believe it’s FLEX) is too harsh. We should welcome major firms to open source. As both show hosts commented, not every major firm can make money from open source, and even though it’s possible, it ain’t easy to find a successful business model.

What do you think?
