Perhaps you need to talk to the companies!
All these (ajax etc etc) are quite new with respect to
java.
And php is web based, if I am not mistaken. My company
uses cpp and java (the thick things) quite heavily. I
dont know how php will help me in my case.
As for asp.net... there's still lots of fud related to
GPL. So better to programme in windows than linux.
For eg *my* understanding is that if I develope a
programme using gpled library, then I *need* to make
my work open source. Hence LGPL has come into
existance.
People can correct me if I am wrong.
If a company pours say 50 lakhs in some development
only to know that they need to open source their work,
then God help them! If I am the MD/CIO of any company,
I will stick to windows/opensolaris etc OSs. At least
my work belongs to me and only ME! Cos the cost of
complete workable windows system is say Rs 20,000 for
PC + Rs 3000 for XP. So what I see? OS is 1/7th the
cost. But I have peace of mind + I save money not
doing 'rnd' or having lawyers by my side. which is far
lesser than 20,000 (PC) + 0 (linux) + legal headaches.
According to me the linux kernel + the DE should be
gpled. But for any people/companies who built
programmes on TOP of the basic OS (consisting of
kernel + GUI + Networking etc etc) should be allowed
to use these combo as if they (kernel + GUI) were
lgpled. (Are my assumptions correct?)
