Funambol's CEO sees AGPL as essential for FOSS in cloud computing's future

12-09-2008 12:00 PM
"The future of software is in cloud computing," says Fabrizio Capobianco, CEO of Funambol, a company that provides mobile services. And if free and open source software (FOSS) is going to survive in that emerging market, he says, then the community needs to adjust by promoting greater use of the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), a license specifically crafted for software as a service.

NAME

       Bio::Graphics::Glyph::toomany - The "too many to show" glyph

SYNOPSIS

	 See L<Bio::Graphics::Panel> and L<Bio::Graphics::Glyph>.

DESCRIPTION

       This glyph is intended for features that are too dense to show properly.  Mostly a placeholder, it currently shows a filled oval.  If you
       choose a bump of 0, the ovals will overlap, to give a cloud effect.

   OPTIONS
       There are no glyph-specific options.

BUGS

       Please report them.
