- constantcrying 1y agoWhat Intel does not seem to understand, at least from the quotes in that article, is that you are also doing open source for your customers. Doing open source makes it easy to get customers to use your products. You could also hide them behind NDAs or licenses and make it hard to become a customer. But of course that never makes it on to a balance sheet, which makes open source expenses seem like a pure loss to the management.

- evanjrowley 1y agoPerhaps this new stance on open source is a result of Intel's stronger relationship with Nvidia, who has historically been hostile to open source.
