It’s about time that United States elite academic institutions finally got around to not only using open-source software, but also teaching it.

This from Matt Asay at CNET. I read the article he’s talking about while at Borders earlier this month, but couldn’t find a copy in my local library or on the databases they subscribed to, so I was just waiting for someone else to mention it so that I could provide you all with a link. The article is titled “Open Source: Salvation or Suicide?” and can be found in the April 2008 issue of the Harvard Business Review.

The article follow a business woman as she considers going open source with her gaming product. It’s a very interesting look at open source from the eyes of a business owner and then a few experts from Harvard weigh in as well.

If you can find a copy of this article at your library it’s well worth a read.
