Agreed, Naner raises a very good point. Just uploading it on GitHub won’t help much. However wouldn't I be right in thinking that it would be easier to get press, adoption and attention to something that is open source? Maybe my question instead should be something like: Given relative small resources, is it easier to succeed as a startup if your product is open sourced? For business strategy so are we leaning towards the usual rout of releasing the software as open source, to encourage a more rapid adoption, while the company sells ongoing support contracts, custom integration, services and consultancy.
