64 <p> Impact of Postfix on IBM's open source strategy.
</p>

"Sharing Software, IBM to Release Mail Program
69 Blueprint". New York Times, December
1998.

</p>
76 <p> This is the New York Times article that put Open Source on the
77 radar of IBM CEO Lou Gerstner. He called around, found that IBM
78 had no open source strategy, and tasked people to come up with one.
79 And the rest is history.

87 <p> How the release of Postfix (Secure Mailer) helped IBM to develop

</p>
98 <p> This is the first article that recognizes Postfix (Secure Mailer)
99 as the project that accelerated IBM's Open Source strategy.
100 Unfortunately, the text contains factual errors. In particular,
101 Postfix development started after I came to IBM, not before.

109 <p> A report from inside IBM. Quote:
"In December of 1998, an effort
110 was first made to understand the broad strategic implications for
111 IBM of open-source software.". The article makes no direct reference
112 to the Secure Mailer project, though.
