This is something as odd as a book about the Free and Open Source communities and the possible business use your organization may have by collaborating with them or open up your software. The odd thing is that it is written by Sun people! Regardless of what Mr. Joy and Mr McNealy today says, Sun has never been a F/OSS company in any meaning of the world (and with Oracle today, even less so).

Regardless of the oddity of the books origins, it is extremely well written, with exactly the right tone and detail that any CIO and/or business manager that is contemplating F/OSS software is willing to listen to and respond well to.

Ok, there are details you may criticize, and/or disagree with, but overall, I believe this is a very valuable book, that unlike many other books that tries to reach management about F/OSS actually succeeds.

In short, recommended reading whether you're serious about the subject or just curious.
