Couldn't agree more. I think the largest hurdle for getting more stuff open sourced is two-fold. 1) A large amount of software is sub-par, and likely commits many atrocities including having business logic in the UI. 2) Companies are afraid they'll be embarrassed by their code, and would rather not take the risk of being branded as a company that doesn't do things right. For number 1, there are potential solutions by hiring better engineers etc... but number 2 is always a (perceived) risk, even if their codebase is "perfect".
