They are only now seeing the benefit of Open Source. They've brokered a
deal with the Apache group to optimize Apache for WinNT, as long as they
can use it in one of their new business products.
When IBM asked the Apache group how much they want for liscensing, they
all said nothing. IBM said, Really, how much??? The Apache group said,
Really, we dont want anything.. Even if we did, there's no real entity to
pay! (or something to that effect...)
