Perhaps–or make that likely–realizing that businesses will invariably sacrifice the future at the altar of the present. We’ll give you the convenience and time to market now; just don’t expect to leave later.

This tells me that there is still hope for open source in the in cloud space. The moment you have > 3 vendors trying to sell about the same thing in a non-consumer market there will be a need for standards. And in today's world you define standards via open source. open source --> Market Adoption ---> Becomes the standard.

As for likelihood of future lockin ... try to get a straight answer from Google on why they hate the AGPL so much.

It's a reminder whey I follow Redmonk so avidly. So many pieces about open-source are all too predictable -- "yadda, yadda, yadda." You folks combine good writing with actual analysis, and -- much more often than most -- useful insight. Keep up the good work, dave Steve,
