E5Rebel writes “Business is embracing open source like never before, but the effective demise of SCO’s claims against Linux doesn’t mean an end to licensing problems, an analyst warns. The debate on Slashdot seems to focus on the GPL and its virtues, but there are 1,000-plus open source licenses (according to analyst Saugatuck), and businesses face having to manage multiple licenses within a single open source product.

That is all for today.
