Remember Open Systems around Unix? Then every proprietary hardware vendor brought its unique flavor of "Open". See how IBM and Oracle cynically talk "open source" when convenient. An SAP exec joked yesterday "we love open source - at the database and OS layers..."
Now you have AT&T and Verizon out "opening" each other about their networks...can we close that door, please?
