 AS PART OF its crusade to marginalize operating systems such as         
 Windows, IBM is leaning toward giving the Standard Edition of its       
 WebSphere application server to the open-source community.              
                                                                         
 <snip>                                                                  
                                                                         
 If IBM gives WebSphere to the open-source community, it will have a     
 profound impact on the 40 or so vendors offering rival application      
 servers, in that these products will become commodity level.
