I'm curious .. how does a company being an "open source company" affect
your viability assessment?? I'd also appreciate if you would address how
you evaluate the "open source"ness of a company ... as you know there
are varying levels of open source companies.
Disclaimer: I run an open source middleware company (WSO2) .. hence have
a biased view on this topic for sure!
