Blackboard Wins Lawsuit Against Desire2Learn.

I wonder if open source LMS software became a serious threat to their market share if they would sue Sakai and Moodle?

We have D2L here at SCSU. Surprisingly, haven't heard much talk about this defeat. Wonder what the results will be.

Looks like an opportunity move from d2l (we have it here at Bemidji State, too) towards open source, though.

That definitely would be a smart move IMO. I wonder if there's any chance of it? I kind of doubt it, considering we're on Microsoft servers here. If they reject Apache, I'd be surprise if they're more open minded about an LMS.

Then again, Firefox is gaining lots of momentum here.

Our latest IT people took us off the MS servers and are running Apache at BSU (bless them), but I can see MnSCU wanting to centralize even a move towards open source. I'd prefer some co-ordination rather than top-down centralization. Devolution is more in the spirit of open source.
