Open source heals the backbone of the Internet
June 01, 2007

Sometimes it takes a comment from outside the industry to put the role of open source in to perspective. This from Planet Chiropractic, the online community for chiropractors:

"If you are wondering what any of this means to chiropractors or Planet Chiropractic, it's important to remember the open source community has provided the backbone of nearly everything we have done (as well as the majority of the web) online, from webservers (apache), databases (mysql), operating systems (fedora, ubuntu, freeBSD), and numerous other packages and tools made freely available thanks to open source."
