Bajo el título ‘Markets set free by open source‘ Jonathan Schwartz (Presidente de Sun Microsystems) escribió en Septiembre pasado una columna de opinión en Financial Times. El texto, también traducido al castellano (pero con algunas diferencias), reúne muchos de los puntos medios del imaginario sobre los modelos abiertos y ciertas libertades político, económicas, sociales y tecnológicas actualmente en tensión. Entre otros puntos:
“A quiet revolution is underway, led by the world’s most rapidly developing economies. Barriers to global trade have never been lower, nor has communication ever been simpler, driving political reform, cultural transparency, social progress - and a tidal wave of wealth creation. What’s driving that progress? The internet, of course. But look a little closer and it’s also attributable to an overwhelming endorsement of technology freedom, which is especially enthusiastic in developing markets.”
Sobre el párrafo de cierre, Jonathan enfatiza:
“Whether you are a business, developer, professor, student, consumer or government leader, the internet allows you to participate directly in broadening economic opportunity, speeding social progress and driving market efficiency. Opportunities are everywhere. Join in”
