It's so good to see companies open sourcing some of their technologies. They probably do so mostly to improve their image, but who cares, and I have to say... it works with me! Thanks tumblr.
- mokkai 14y agoNo. They mostly do it to ensure that the software is actively maintained. When a home grown software reaches a certain level of maturity it makes sense to set a roadmap and release it in the public domain. More users + developers = profit for both the company and the public.
- danmaz74 14y agoYes, if you get there that's a win-win. I wonder though how many projects really get a community support after they are open sourced by a company.
