First Prize

The prize for the first reportage from my evolve keynote in Sydney goes to Rodney Gedda of Computerworld who, despite the name type mid-article, gets part of the message pretty clear - that the furore over open source here in Australia is missing the real benefits of the open source approach and focussing too much on Linux and price leverage against Microsoft. For those GPL-phile worried by the last sentence, note that I didn't in fact flame the GPL like that; rather, I said that those wishing to use the GPL for commercial open source projects had better use dual licensing otherwise they'll probably run into licensing problems when they try to sell their packaged products.
