The Next RedHat or Buyout?
Savio Rodrigues is a blogger who covers enterprise open source topics.
He has an insightful discussion about consolidation in the open source space. Quoting a VC he says "Everyone's hoping to either become the next Red Hat or get sold to IBM or Oracle." Indeed.

It is likely, as he surmises, that a diffusion of ideas will happen in both directions.
