Belgialainen huipputeknologiayhtiö Silicos NV on tehnyt strategisen päätöksen siirtyä käyttämään pääasiassa avoimen lähdekoodin ohjelmistoja.
"Belgium-based computational chemistry company Silicos NV has made a strategic decision to port the majority of its proprietary software into the open source arena. The decision has been made to port all of these tools and the corresponding C/C API's into the Open Babel environment under a GNU GPL licensing scheme. This strategic decision will position Silicos NV as one of the leading computational chemistry services companies to support the open source business model. According to Hans De Winter, Silicos' CSO, "the decision will allow Silicos to move forward rapidly on the expanding wave of open source software tools, and will significantly expand its possibilities of providing services to customers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry."

Todella hieno uutinen, toivon että muut teollisuuden alat seurailevat pikkuhiljaa perässä. Kuten olen aiemminkin maininnut niin käytän sitä PLC-softaa jota ei saa linuxille ollenkaan vaikka paljon mieluummin työskentelisin linuxin kanssa kuin windowsilla.
Ehkä tällainen ajan mittaan johtaa muutoksiin siinäkin asiassa, kannatan.
