Dear Reader, The software industry will never be the same. A window is being closed on traditional notions of how software ought to be created, sold, and used. Wide Open News is all about what comes next. Open source software has captured the imagination of anyone who cares about computing. Wide Open News will help you find the answers.
Open source goes far beyond the question of who owns software code.
As it challenges longstanding beliefs about the ownership of information, open source is beginning to infect business, law, economics, media, government, politics, even culture. We know you are busy. We don't intend to clutter our site with every available bit of open source ephemera. To help ease your information overload, Wide Open News will provide you with only the most important and interesting open source topics of the day and present them with clarity, thoughtfulness, and depth. We believe in the open source philosophy.
