Rotten to the Core: Chips, Lies, and Software Licenses
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Software licensing no longer makes sense. The anonymity of the Internet, the prevalence of distributed computing, and clever multi-core, multi-threaded processors have all screwed up software licensing in their own ways. To put it bluntly, the prices most companies pay for software licenses have little correlation to how they actually use software.

As I See It: Getting to the Front by Stabbing in the Back
