Ask HN: Is HN a threat or a thread for spies? What's the inverse of a lobby?
Edit s/thread/threat in the title. Edit s/threat/threat or a thread just to reflect both are plausible.

Some discussion is in this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qilang/BPL-iRweRpk
I think a new and unexpected model is being configured and the main actor here is Microsoft. Perhaps, if this kind of model is going to be real, changing the name of Windows to OpenWinds would allow the company to flying out.
I don't have a clear proposal or model for the kind of negotiation required in an openlag company, but it seems this kind of model is going to be real soon.
Edit: Small changes in the expression, the same idea.
For example, imagine that Wolfram decides to use this kind of model for Mathematica with a lag of three years, that is in three years you have the three years old version in the open software. This kind of model would promote the adoption of this product from universities and other big corporations that don't want to use a black box, and at the same time the company has to innovate new features since the old version will be in the open and for free.
What do you think about this model?
The first axiom of any new model of sofware is that it should help create new jobs and profits for companies and innovate, do you think this model would allow this?
As there is no new thing under the sun, is very likely such an idea has been formulated before, but I think now is the moment to ripe from such an idea/project. (1) https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.lisp/5LRmR8BLz0Y
