Its worth a listen but it came across as if the
presenter really didn't know what open source is, and
was stuggling to understand it throughout the program,
rather then knowing what he was talking about and
trying to explain it to the listeners.

Interesting to hear british business described as too
conservative to embrace open source, as opposed to the
USA where anything that gives a competative advantage
is grabbed.

In Business is a serious program though (its The Money
Program for radio4 listners) so this is good exposure
and hopefully will lead to more knowledgable
discussions in the future.
