"I began to worry about open source when the corporate world stopped worrying and learned to love open source. For me the turning point was a drinks party in Paris in 2003, thrown by the wife of an American advertising executive temporarily based in the city. First, a bit of context for the party and its place in the brief story I'm telling here, which is about the capture of open source by the current corporate innovation system, and the battle for the alternatives that endure."
