Few facts I learned about few Open source software’s there:
1. MySQL was acquired by SUN for almost 1Billion USD
2. MySQL releases in 2 versions the community and enterprise versions while the community versions are used mostly by the mid-range applications while the enterprise versions are used by big IT vendors which offers support and additional enterprise tools.
3. Many of the Internets popular websites use MySQL as there back end Database systems like Google, Facebook, YouTube & Flickr etc.

This is an article about the speech of Apple's Co-Founder Steve Wozniak at Software AG's Innovation World 2008
Apple's co-founder recounted his fledgling career as a young computer programmer starting the company with present CEO Steve Jobs.
Wozniak said his beginnings as an engineer at Hewlett-Packard gave him access to resources such as hardware parts which he needed. He eventually had to leave HP, when he approached the company to help him make a line of personal computers but was turned down.
"They were a great big company, but couldn't stray from their ordinary line of business," said Wozniak. The personal computer product he had envisioned eventually became the popular Apple II.
Wozniak related how he encountered resistance from the HP engineers when he tried to share a method he had discovered, for working out a particularly error-prone equation. In spite of proving that his workaround would be faster and easier to help solve the equation, his colleagues could not switch to his new methodology, Wozniak said.
"People don't like change," he said.
The message he put forward, directed at Software AG's partners and developers present at the conference, highlighted that the path to being an innovator is understanding that one does not have to seek validation from everyone to achieve personal goals.
"You don't have to convince people to do everything like you. Do what you want to do--you have to know who you are," he said, adding that innovation is sometimes also "squeezed" out of a lack of resources.
"When you don't have a lot of money, you [want to] find out new and innovative ways to get the job done," he noted.
