Business Insider is running a slideshow feature on ” How to run a company that engineers actually want to work for .” It should come as little surprise that the engineer-friendly company looks a lot like successful open source projects, except with a paycheck and benefits.

Would you like some Libre content to go with those free and open source applications? One of the initial challenges that the open source community has had in supplanting proprietary solutions is not just the software itself, but the entire ecosystem that has built up around proprietary software.

The eternal question: Should businesses choose a permissive (BSD or MIT style) license, or go with reciprocal licenses to keep competitors in check? Matthew Aslett of the 451 Group has been putting up an informative and insightful set of posts lately about choosing the right license from the business perspective.
