not necessarily so. i'm sure IBM's 10K filings will include the same line 
with a different conclusion, i.e that the proliferation of open source will 
increase opportunities for higher revenue growth from IBM Global Services. 
as such, OSS is not a danger to the economic ecosystem of software, but may 
be a threat to specific companies who're not reengineering themselves to 
meet the changing market conditions in the 21st century.
