I wonder if open sourcing their code would even be a problem for them now. I don’t think the code is worth much vs the brand name and scale.

- simonw 6y agoStrategic issues aside, open sourcing a codebase that is over a decade old is extremely hard. You need to be absolutely sure there's nothing in the code or commit history that's not suitable for release. Just one example: what if someone pasted an error log message into a commit message that included a piece of PII?
