by Ruth Suehle

InfoWorld reports on the next big things in IT, and for open source, they declare that the future is “innovation through recombination.”

Open source allows startups to take the bits of Linux and other open source projects they need and combine them in new ways that deliver new capabilities. Companies have already started down the path of designing configurable Linux configurations meant to be combined with other software components to create purpose-built solutions. Open source allows us to move beyond the stale traditions of certified stacks of software to truly integrated solutions that home in on specific needs.
