Stands Apart
Three different domains - technology, law and business - intersect in the world of open source software and Meeker's book manages to address each of the three at an expert level while still synthesizing the larger issues relevant to everyone in the field. While the topic of open source has generated a flood of commentary, the type of careful and reasoned analysis offered in this book is in short supply and makes The Open Source Alternative stand apart from similar recent offerings. All that and it's very readable too!
