Scott Handy says there's more to open standards and open source than just Linux. Handy, who is the vice president of worldwide Linux business strategy at IBM, delivered a keynote on the second day of LinuxWorld Canada.

In his remarks, he struck a similar tone as Novell's David Patrick did yesterday, noting how via numerous mechanisms being "open" is a force for innovation. He also discussed the common misconception that Linux is free (as in comes without cost).
