I'd be curious to know if you think open source companies should share all of their database records too.

I'd be curious to know if you think open source companies should share all of their database records too.
- sokoloff 4y agoI think of two broad categories of database records: transactional data (data created while running the system) and domain data (data created during development and shipped to production as part of the release process). The former type of data I wouldn't expect to ever be open-sourced. The latter type might or might not be, depending on the intent of open-sourcing the related system. If I created a human language translation system that used a SQL database to store the dictionary (domain) data and claimed the system was open-source without shipping the domain data, I think people would rightly say that the system was not fully opened.
