Linux Box: Open Source On The Grow
Ann Arbor's Linux Box, which has spent the last 10 years writing custom open-source software applications for a long list of clients, says its business is growing rapidly enough that it's likely to boost staff by 50 percent to 20 within the next year or two.
"The future is really positive," said Linux Box co-founder Elizabeth Ziph.
She said a recent Gartner study shows that more than half of American companies have used open source software, and the percentage is much higher overseas.
"I think almost anybody that we talk to knows about open source, and when I talked about open source five years ago people looked at me as if I had fallen from the moon," Ziph said.
Open source software is defined as computer software for which the source code and other rights normally reserved for copyright holders is in the public domain, or is part of a license that meets the Open Source Definition at http://opensource.org/.
