For me as an engineer who influences technology acquisition, open source wins by being grokkable.
- If my colleagues and I can see the source, we can decide whether or not we think it will fulfill the claims it makes.
- Once we're using it, if we run into a bug or an unanticipated use case, we can, at a minimum, research a solution and suggest it in a bug report. Alternatively, we can open a PR.
