"State What License You Use" I would go further and say "state what licenses apply to code you didn't write". It's dangerous to see people cull code from the internets without properly understanding who holds the copyrights. As explained i

"The estimates reflect Wall Street’s growing confidence in cloud services" Seems silly to assume that Amazon will take the cake. By 2020 other offerings like Windows Azure may end up taking away the lion's share of profits.
