  I have never understood how open sourcing a core component of your business makes sense.

    It may be a case of "Commoditizing Your Complements". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1250958 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1250958

      Interesting article! Thanks for sharing. I fail to see what is their "complement" that benefits by commoditizing netbox. In fact it could be used to create a competitor. Are digitalocean not selling just VPS anymore? I am curious what DO has up their sleeve, because they were really ahead of their time with 5$ VPSs.
