You piqued my interest: What’s private open source?
- diggan 3y agoI'm guessing it's referring to the "corporate open source" ecosystem where Google and similar companies make code public but everything else is closed. There is no collaboration, no public roadmaps, no influence given to the community and such. Not sure it's a vital distinction, for me both are as public/private as the other, but that's the only meaning I could try to extract from that...
- sylware 3y agoAlso, open source, legally, does concern the relationship between the user of the code and its author, and it is not required to be public at all. Open source works more than fine with defence stuff, actually would be a requirement...
