It is interesting to note that many biggies like Yahoo, Google and most popular networking sites are using open source technologies like C, C++, perl, php, python, java on linux, apache, MySQL and postgress platforms and have been very successful in coming out of licensed model.
Most of these companies hence are able to thwart the attack by Microsoft, IBM and Oracle who have entrenched themselves on a license based software model.
While monitoring this space, I am finding a couple of outsourcing companies trying to leverage the expertise on open source technologies and offer them to the business which would like to go big on open source. Business are trying to cut down costs, get good support and use readilly avaialble expertise.
One company called Aghreni technologies started a few months back is trying to grab attention. It provides product incubation and services on open source technologies like Java, perl and php. It has an interesting mix of services on open source technologies and trying to promote them in a big way. It has also embarked in creating the talent pool locally through their education services targetted at college students who would like to build their career on open source technologies early in their college.
For more information on the company, you can visit their website.http://www.aghreni.com
