At Gioorgi.com, after working with a lot with software for over twenty years, we have envisioned a clear idea about open source. This is the first article of a series tagged “opensource”: let’s start!
Richard Stallman Vision, based on GNU open source idea, is too radical from our point of view.
Stallman GNU License is based on a “copyleft” idea, which gives everyone the freedom to look at others’work, without taking credits for it. The license vision is very strict, so consulting is the natural option for an IT business based on GNU software, which is drived by Univestities, because of its basic freedom statement.

I am happy Django Team has released version 1.0 of its python web framework. It was planned for 21th of September, but they speed up things :) We can read on Django web site:
