Do you honestly expect them to open source software that earns them significant revenue? They are a business trying to make money.

- oldnan 11y agoI don't, and neither does anyone else. The point is that they remain a proprietary software company at their core and will likely remain that way.
- soared 11y agoOh I misinterpreted your comment. I see your point.
- sz4kerto 11y agoNone of the megacompanies open-source their cash cows. Red Hat is an exception to some extent, but they're not that big. Google, Apple, Microsoft -- they all make money based on closed-source software. What they open-source is only the stuff that does not give them competitive edge. You can't download the source Google Search, iOS or Windows. (I'm not arguing with you, btw.)
