: LawTechTVOpen Source Software is Big Business
Link: Open Sources | Rodrigues & Urlocker | InfoWorld | Sun Shines on LAMP | January 16, 2008 05:40 AM | By Zack Urlocker. If anyone doubts that OSS is big business than they should pay attention to this announcement. Sun is not doing this because they are "nice guys" but rather they perceive this as potentially "game changing."
The question, from a legal technology perspective, is whether law tech vendors will adopt the LAMP architecture any time soon? I predict that the answer to this is a definitive YES! Why? For the same reason that Sun is going to buy MySQL. Someone in the law tech crowd will figure out that there is a potentially game changing play to be made on top of LAMP--provide the software for FREE and make money on support and other related services.
This is too obvious a play so as to go unnoticed for very long. The big incumbents are not the likely candidates, but a well entrenched small player might make the move.
