It never ceases to amaze how big companies manage to talk out both sides of their mouth and other orifices all at the same time. BEA likes open source BEA Systems’ planned next-generation application platform, called Project Genesis, will feature an open source component and accommodate scripting languages such as Ruby and Perl, BEA officials said at the BEAWorld San Francisco conference on Tuesday. BEA hates open source “I think open source for open source’s sake has been useless,” Chuang said. “Some companies have taken multimillion lines of operating system code and open-sourced it,” he said, critically. Although sometime-BEA rival Sun Microsystems did this with its Solaris OS, Chuang said his comment was not specifically targeted at Sun. Others have done this as well, he said.
