Larry Ellison still doesn't understand open source

Mr. Ellison spouted off on open source yesterday and showed that he has a very sophisticated understanding of open source...as it existed circa 1998. What Ellison doesn't seem to understand is that open source hasn't been about free love and free beer for a long, long time. As such, no one is particularly surprised (at least those that read this blog shouldn't be) to find out that Linux, for example, had a huge chunk of it contributed by Intel, IBM, Novell, Red Hat, etc.
